that's modern. my early recollections were riding my bike down to the local tap room, buy Pall Mall cigarettes (for my parents....)
25 cents a pack, and I got to keep the two pennies change in the wrapper . . .

Old to some. I'm like you in that I remember being sent to the local store to buy Pall Mall for my dad, Kent for my mom. Ahh the good ole days.
Yep. I remember when cigarettes were two bits a pack.
It the Navy over in Vietnam they were 10 cents a pack for non-filtered ones and 11 cents a pack for filtered ones.

there is (of course...) a back story to this . . .
my great aunt, a vapid tea-totaller, had a beau. for Christmas one of the family presented them with a bottle of "Wedding Rye"
which went over like the proverbial lead balloon... out with the booze, in with a tie...
she never married; probably should have gone with the booze.
my Great Aunt put the booze in the cupboard, about 1920-1935 or so. when she died my mother moved the Wedding Rye from my aunt's cupboard to her cupboard, and when my mother died I moved it from my mother's cupboard to my cupboard.
un-opened, tax seal intact, seriously not a lot of evaporation loss, with carton and gift tag . . .
there are people quite fond of old booze - sold it for some $400+, he paid the shipping....
the box has a number of other pixs - this is from a advert but it's not the same as the carton pix.

So, back in 1996 we were going to Victoria, B.C. for the weekend and my dad asked me to get him a bottle of Golden Wedding Rye, which I did, and I got a bottle of Limited Addition Crown Royal for myself. The guy in the liquor store put them in a paper sack. On the walk back to our hotel the sack tore and the bottle of Golden Wedding hit the sidewalk. That night, about 0200, I got a call in our room from the Victoria police to call my brother. My father passed away from a stroke. I still have the bottle of Crown Royal, unopened, under my bar. A few years later I went back and told the man in the liquor store my story and he said if I would have come back they would have given me another bottle.
Prunes???
