Picked Blue Lake green beans every summer to help pay for school clothes. At the end of the season we would get a check for about $75- $95 if you were a good and fast picker at 2.5 cents per pound.

The old Eugene Surplus store had Lugers for $35-$50 each. And a wooden pickle barrel full of M-1 Carbines, marked "Your choice $12". After buying school clothes all I could do was look.
