You could also buy a roll of caps for your “gasp” CAP PISTOL and go home and play cops and robbers with your friends. None of us grew up to murder a lot of people in a movie theater. All of us are responsible citizens!
Oh yeah, Woolworth’s, Sprouse-Reitz, etc. Our local Woolworth even sold parakeets as well as bird cages. Fun just watching the birds before buying our ten cent bags of hot popcorn.Seems like a completely different life and time. Of course, looking back over that many years might have something to do with it…

Our town had three. The one I liked best had warm salted peanuts.
