If you put 5 cents on it and marked it "via airmail" it would get there quicker.
Is my life slowly flashing before my eyes?
Does anybody remember

Does anybody remember
Any of you folks remember when you could mail a letter with a 2 cents stamp?
If you put 5 cents on it and marked it "via airmail" it would get there quicker.

I still do that!
That could explain a lot of returned mail!
It may be that my sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

BACK IN THE LATE 20'S AND EARLY 30'S THE ONLY THING WE COULD SEND IN THE MAIL WAS A POST CARD, THAT COST .01 AND I HAD TO TAKE IT 4 MILES TO THE FIRST PLACE YOU COULD MAIL ANYTHING. I ALSO SPENT A LOTOF MY YOUNGER YEARS PICKING UP DRINK BOTTLES, THE CORNER STORE WOULD GIVE US .01 CENT FOR EACH ONE WE BROUGHT IN CLEAN. I CAN REMEMBER PICKING UP ENOUGH BOTTLES TO BUY
