Oh I remember those days of the candy store directly across from school. The owner made a mint on us kids! Lots of glass jars with all sorts of goodies. I too, loved the drinks in the little waxed bottles, as well as those red waxed lips. Do you remember them? I am just not sure now whether they were candy or just fun stuff. The straws filled with candy were fun too ... oh so much sugar as well as the buttons on paper. I remember wearing those candy necklaces and chewing on them at my leisure. Who would think that we would put that in our mouth and continue to wear it afterwards? Ah, the innocence and fun!

Going to this store for a dime was like hitting the lottery!
