“ Those young whipper snappers don’t know what it’s like to work 10 hours a day in a snow storm for a nickel !”
An old guy I knew said that back in the day he worked at a sawmill from sunup to sundown for $0.50/day, and if you weren’t there by sunup you didn’t make a full day.
Yeah but back then you could buy a house , a car and a wife for 3 dollars and still have money left over for a pack of smokes
