Fondest memory I have from the past was when my paternal grandfather (who I loved) would open his small pocketbook as it was called those days and gave me 0.03 cents to buy a ice cream cone. Singal cone was 0.03...double 0.05 and a triple was 0.10 cents. He would speak to me in Hungarian softly saying "don't tell mom".

Best prices I remember was 5 cents single, 10 cents double.


(early 1950's )


There was one small general store ( if the wife was working) she really worked hard to get that scoop as full as possible and still added a little if you only had a nickel.
