In 1960 they were a nickel at the grocery store we frequented.
By 1962 they were all a dime except one store, they were 7 cents.
I went to grade school at Arabi Elementary and there was a wooden building on the grounds behind the main school.
It was sectioned in 2 parts---one side was the band room and the other side had machines for candy, chips and sodas. I can remember the sodas going from .05 to .06 when I was there for those small bottles of coke.

1923 photo of a potential immigrant doing a puzzle as part of a mental examination at Ellis Island. The test was required in order to be admitted into the United States.

wonder who decided showing a tarted up chick walking the city streets with the words “Tramp Tramp Tramp” was a great way to sell groceries

1968
H. Hughes was a fan. He'd order dozens of sandwiches delivered to his hotel suite and eat nothing else for days on end
I was a Rax man myself

There's an episode of Dobie Gillis where his dad, who has a small family grocery, gets upset when one of these A&P style grocery stores opens nearby.
I'm old enough to remember the family grocery and my mom, who didn't drive in the 50s, would order groceries by phone and a boy would bring them in a box and unload it on the kitchen table and my mom would pay cash and give him a tip.

All these years I didn't know A&P stood for "Atlantic and Pacific." As a kid, I often accompanied my mother to the local A&P, although it wasn't our main grocery.
The song "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys are Marching" was so widely recorded in the early phonograph days. No wonder it led to not one, but two feature films, utilizing the title "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp." The first, a 1926 Harry Langdon comedy (which is pretty funny), and second, a very minor Columbia service comedy from 1942 with Jackie Gleason and Jack Durant (the latter originally part of the wacky Mitchell and Durant comedy team).

Thanks Chicken, nothing brings me back to yesteryear like seeing an old Chevy ad in Spanish here.

The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company (A&P) was a pioneering American grocery chain (1859–2015) that dominated US retail for decades. Known for low-cost, high-volume, self-service models, it was the "Walmart of its time".

Far superior to latex paint.
I have a shed painted with lead paint in the early 80s. It still looks good.
