I worked in a Candy store in 1960 after school from 4 till 11. The night edition of the News and the Mirror came out around 9 PM and the store would be crowded from about 8:30 till the papers came in. I got a lot of practice making egg cream sodas, sundaes and packing pints and quarts of hard ice cream.

We used to interchange with 169 and the smell of Chocolate filled the air. I never checked it out but I believe their factory was around the corner from their firehouse. They were our busy night interchange company.

Good one Ray, I was watching a documentary on candy we used to eat that are pulled from the market, these in particular because they stuck to the paper and the food adm said kids were eating the paper stuck to it...big deal, it went with the glue we ate...

at L 38 the old-timers were talking about egg-creams...we hit the road and bought a wooden 12 case seltzer water in those spray top bottles. That worked for a night or so, making egg creams...then like the Three Stooges, you can imagine what else happened...
