If you, like, mowed lawns for, like, $3 during the sixties, you like, were moving lawns, in, like, Hollywood, because like in the sixties, the minimum wage was, like .90/hour.

The going rate in the Philly burbs in the early 1970's was 5 bucks a lawn.

I did an acre of grass -but on my dad’s Ford riding mower- for 3 bucks each, so same time as pushing over an LA yard I guess

Poor moles lol

I got $3.50 per lawn on Long Island in 1963. At that time a Saturday matinee double feature up the block was $0.35 and candy was a nickel. So, for half a buck we got two movies, a box of candy for each one and a third box to throw around the theater in candy fights. Black Crows were my favorite ammo.

If philly burbs = main line, OK and now we are into the 70s when the original menu was from 1955.

Twenty years can make a difference.

In 1939 my dad, a united steel worker was receiving .39/hour in 1959 at the same plant, his rate was $ 3.29/hour, 20 years can make a difference.
