Re: End of the line.
Thank you, Tom for all these period pictures. They give us a glimpse of what it was like back then. I really like the grocery store picture & wonder if that was in an improvished area during the depression. Thanks again,

To add to what George posted above, On our MTFCA National Tour in June, 2022, every goody bag got at least 1gs stick, and some got two of them since we had a few extras. Also, there were gas stations close by in both directions from the host motel. No excuses for running out of gas!
