61 Years Of History
In that we may be off the topic of taxes, I thought I would throw this in. Out of high school in 1948 I went to work for my father and his partner learning auto mechanics in Downers grove Illinois 20 miles outside of Chicago.
As time went on I worked on the oil clutch in the Hudson.Hudson had the first frame and body unit structure, you would step down to get into the auto. The 12 cylinder Lincoln was a popular car at the time. I also worked on the Packard, it was designed like an upside down bath tub Gasoline was 15 cents per gallon and oil 25 cents per quart.
When I married at age 20, I was making $35.00 per week and we paid $30.00 per month for our apartment.It was on the first floor and cold as hell in the winter. Who cares we ever on our honeymoon for 49 years until I lost my wife in 2000.Have a great evening everyone.
