If there\u2019s one thing I\u2019ve learned from old photos, it\u2019s that people used to buy all of their produce off the backs of wagons that drove into town each day. Today\u2019s vintage watermelon photo is proof. See the woman in the hat on the right? She\u2019s got her watermelon along with, I\u2019m assuming, a basket full of freshly laid eggs. The bucket is empty, but not for long. She\u2019s stopping at the local farm on the way home to milk a cow.<\/p>\n
And how about those vintage prices? I don\u2019t know how much the watermelons are selling for, but the notice in the window of the restaurant advertises hamburgers for only five cents. That\u2019s right, five cents! <\/em>If I lived in a world in which hamburgers only cost a nickel (six-and-a-half cents for a cheeseburger) and the watermelon man drove his cart down Main Street every day, I\u2019d be a very happy man.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If there\u2019s one thing I\u2019ve learned from old photos, it\u2019s that people used to buy all of their produce off the backs of wagons that drove into town each day.
