I know a bit more about about hard times than most of you.My last hourly pay job was around 1969.My dad and I built my own shop for 1000.00 in my yard.I figured if I was going to be poor it should be my fault.I had to beg for a few days off to get my hay in.In the early 70s I bought a Belsaw Sharp All on time payments..That brought income when the TV repair and and sales was slow.In the early 60s I worked for a hatchery mornings and a dairy farm afternoons.I remember buying a pair of US made work shoes and a pair of dungarees for 7 bucks on a Montgomery Ward sale.Postage was a buck or so. The store I bought fertilizer from for 40 years closed this winter.I bought shingles,lumber and grain ,groceries.The small towns have lost their general stores in the last 10 years.My son dropped off a box of doughnuts I quit buying years ago.They were 39 cents,now 2.99.I would need 800 bucks per week to have the same buying power I had in 1970.Our worthless dollar in dragging us down.

One of his first pieces of equipment was a Ferguson TO-35 with a Davis loader. Dad replaced the TO-35 with a MF 202 Workbull, essentially an industrialized Ferguson 35 I am told. Dad bought the 202 new in 1962, and I recall quite clearly going to the dealer with him to sign for it. ... [Read Article]
