My folks ran a store from 1950 to 1952. The candy bars were not a great deal different than they are today. Hersheys were the same, three musketeers, baby ruth, mounds, almond joy, there were several other choices. David David as I recall at first the Three Musketeers Candy Bar was a 3 Flavor Candy Bar, Vanilla, Strawberry, and Chocolate. Do you remember the Big Nick Ice Cream Bar and the Dixie Cups with your favorite Cowboy or Movie Star inside of the Lid for 5Cents. Back in the fourties there was a lot of Penny Candy, Suckers were BBBats different Flavor, Safe T Pops, And Tootsie Rolls (1896) and Tootsie Roll Pops (1905) . And regular Hard Candy Suckers. Cracker Jacks (1896) were also available back in those days. And the Cold Drinks were really big for 5 Cents except the Grapettes and Cokes and Squirt, but the others were "Belly Washers". I remember these old" Rolling Stores" coming down the Old Northern with their goods.I Was born in the Marked Tree and Tyronza Arkansas Area back "in those good old days" as we speak of them. How in the world did we survive without Air Conditioning and Plumbing? Joe
