Lancaster, OH | Had a friend who was an old man at the time who worked in chicago for the railroad in the '30's. He heard of a part time job on an orchard so he and some buddies hopped a train to go work for the weekend. The offer was room, board and $0.25/day.
When they got there, they were to pick apples.
They picked apples all morning and gathered around a picnic table for lunch. The lady brought out a bushel basket of Paw Paws and said, "There you go, boys. Have all you want."
They hopped the train that night to go back. | |
