That's right on the safety pins.....but my Mother soon bought me some hooks.....no bait shops or tackle stores back then......had to go to the hardware store which was downtown on main street with the rest of the stores to buy hooks. Had a lot of fun catching fish with that cane pole.

five and dime in my day, prolly half/penny and penny in your day huh G????
remember the good times down town, lot of that gone these days and its a sad thing.

John......cokes were 6 cents

Dont remember that, dime cokes for me, man that old coke box could get them things cold, bag a peanuts over in it sho was good too, still do that all along but just aint the same.
