What Can You Get For A Penny These Days?

How many remember penny ice cream cones and penny pictures? The cones were bought at
Poukey's (George's father) drugstore located at that time in the Zimmerman building. These
cones were very good and not too small at that.

A photographer came to town taking penny pictures. He took 6 pictures a little larger than a
postage stamp for a quarter. They turned out good and it was the fad for awhile to exchange
these pictures for those of your friends.
