Enjoy the cigar, Jeff. Ah, the good old days when you could smoke with impunity because everyone just assumed it wasn’t harmful. Dr Oschner and Dr DeBakey published the first article linking smoking with lung cancer in 1939.
I remember reading an article written by a doctor. It was early in the 1900s in medical school. The instructor told the class that they were going to the hospital that day, and see something so rare that they were unlikely to ever see another case in their medical careers.It’s called lung cancer!(Shortly after one could buy cigarettes by the pack or carton instead of having to hand roll them)
I purchased a paper route in Toronto in 1950. Six days a week plus a weekend supplement magazine and comic section for 25 cents a week. Price had just gone up from 3 cents a day, and the price rose to 30 cents a week before I sold the route in 1954.

Has to be the 40s if you could pick up a newspaper with only a quarter – and have change to spare!

The chain of command, trickle down method. Speaking of a Quarter#3, how about “about a quarter to nine.”

Stop treating poor Jeff like a Mutt, Mutt!
If Jeff did get the newspaper after all… He should bring it back in his mouth and crawl on all fours.

@QuartermainOne of my Jolson favorites is, I love to sing, when he performs with Cab Calloway. There was no better “big band” than Calloway’s.

Ca 1930 Geoffrey T. Spaulding proposed an eight cent nickel with which you could buy three-cent newspaper and get the same nickel back as change.

You pay more for a paper today than you did a month of home delivered papers in the mid/late 60’s!!

In the future, Jeff, no quarter will be asked or given; you’ll have to cough up two bucks!
