The hand wasn't Creature Double Feature afterall I guess. The Rheingold ad was before my time, but it was cool to see the "oh Diane" commercial again.

This is the Milford Plaza commercial if I did the link correctly.

If my memory is correct, I think Rheingold sponsored that Miss Subways contest. They used to put up pictures of the contestants in the subway cars. I know this was at least in 50s, maybe even before, but I was a baby then.

I wonder if they still have that meal/stay $43.00 per night rate???

[Pete Piper]

That was $43.00/person--more expensive than I would have imagined for that time.

Yes, but that did include cocktail and breakfast. LOL

The hand with the six fingers was from Chiller Theater.

Next up...remember Officer Joe Bolton introducing Three Stooges shorts?

Remember when everything was dirt cheap? A slice of pizza, gum, a can of coke, etc.

I remember a HUGE triple-decker egg salad sandwich & a banana split at the Woolworth's lunch counter for 80 cents back in the sixties!!

Funny how we used to use SO much change back then...now change is just a bother & doesn't get you hardly anything!!

BUT...things WERE cheaper, but also the pay was much less, so it was still a struggle to make ends meet for a lotta folks!!

pack of gum 5 cents, a bottle (no cans) of coke 15 cents, etc. A subway token was 15 cents. A ride on the Staten Island Ferry was 5 cents.

Damn, I really MUST be old.
