Yes! We got our fruit from Charlie and Charlie's horse! Charlie drove the wagon, and the horse... we'll, he wore a straw hat with cutouts for his ears. I think they came by every day. The only other place to buy fruit uptown in Hoboken in the late 40's was the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company on Washington Street. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2006 10:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NJHUDSON] Remembering I REMEMBER DOING HALLOWEEN AND THANKSGINING. THIS WAS IN THE FIFTIES. WE LIVED ON ST. PAUL'S AVE. IN JC. ON HALLOWEEN WE DRESSED UP AS ANYTHING THAT WAS MADE IN THE HOUSE. NEVER HAD ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY ANYTHING. ON THANKSGIVING WE ALWAYS GOT DRESSED UP AND WENT BEGGING FOR THANGSGIVING . ONLY IN THE MORNING. WE ALSO RECEIVED FRUIT OR PENNIES. EVERYONE HAD FRUIT BACK THEN. BY THE WAY, DOES ANYONE REMEMBER HOW GOOD THE FRUIT TASTED BACK THEN? MUCH BETTER THEN TODAY NO PRESERVITIVES. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
