My Aunt Olive would come visit on Fridays and my dad would take my mom to the A &P to shop. When they got back they would give the white oleo to Olive and she would watch Perry Cumo on our little tv and stir the yellow powder into the oleo to make it yellow. I was born in '47 and my mom put in my baby book the receipt from the hospital with the charges. My care was $3.00 Moms room was $7.00 and they stayed for at least 5 days back then. Thanks for the memories,

[@samanthab1923]

Wow! That's insane. Back in '08 friends of ours had a surprise pregnancy, their 4th & the husband had a mortgage business. Needless to say no work & no insurance. They had to borrow $10,000 from his parents!

That margarine license was interesting. The Oleomargarine Act of 1886 was a pretty big deal and an interesting read.

Lets see more after you sift thru it again please. So very interesting, and the anticipation! I didn't understand that ad where groceries were so expensive??? I miss somethin'?

[@michelleraney3577]

I looked up the address of the funeral home. It's a 3 story house now, was built in 1902, and it's for sale! There are a lot of pictures of it. It says the kitchen and bathroom are on the second floor, which makes sense if the funeral home was on the first floor. Very interesting! Great video as usual!

[@samanthab1923]

My mom was friends with a girl whose family owned a funeral home in their city. They lived upstairs from the viewing rooms. Everything else was done in the basement. Family still owns it today.

I’m so envious. I would love to sit down and go through each piece of paper.

That’s just me though. Lol I love your videos and can’t wait for each new one. Stay safe and God Bless

@@PaperandMoose I have some paper and books put away to send to you Renee. Those can go USPS with media mail. I've asked a couple times now.. do you still have your gmail account and is it working? I need to email you about some items I've collected and found and to ship by UPS.. so they don't return them.

[@PaperandMoose]

@@richardhill3580 I still have problems with the email account. If something can't be shipped to a PO Box, unfortunately I don't have another address to go to. My PO Box postal location workers haven't given me any problems and if there is ever an issue with a package, they always let me know (so not sure what happened that other time).

[@richardhill3580]

@@PaperandMoose While having issues with your 1st email, you could just add another Gmail account to use. Less than 5 minutes to make another one, and they are FREE. I wanted to email to confirm you are set up to get UPS "Shippost".(Pretty sure UPS called it Shippost) Thats where UPS will give package to USPS delivery for final leg of delivery... and USPS does PO Boxes so shouldn't be a problem. Wanted to send you a few Gmails about other items to see if you wanted them also. Thought about Maybe taking some pics of various Christmas items to see if they were worth shipping them to you.

[@maryellenbauer3524]

Loved this video, felt like old school Paper and Moose. I will be honest, I felt the Hoarder House videos were really depressing. I didn't really want to watch them because I felt the entire process was beneath you. You deserve boxes of paper, chock filled garbage bags and all the other stuff you started your channel on. It was nice to return to the old Paper and Moose that we know and love!

[@PaperandMoose]

I never want to think that anything is beneath me. At my old corporate job, due to handling paper records, I was told that if I ever needed to carry a box from the archive room to my desk, I should get one of the maintenance men to carry it for me because I shouldn't "be seen" carry a box and that it was beneath my job description. Unless I had to move a large number of boxes, I got myself a cart and moved every single box myself. Having worked on a farm and a warehouse before, myself coming from a family history of rough labor jobs such as coal miners and factory workers, I feel that no job should be seen as too lowly to do & handing it off to someone else because I am "above them". Often times, those that carry on those types of jobs are the hardest workers in the group. Also, wish I could have garbage bag after garbage bag to dig thru on garbage days, but one can't dictate what is put out in the trash... wish I could, cause the mystery garbage bags would be never ending!

[@PaperandMoose]

That's crazy! A little investigating might have to be done indeed!

[@analogdays433]

Back in the 50s, it was illegal to sell colored oleo in Wisconsin. You would have to mix in tablets of yellow dye if you wanted the appearance of butter. That law was passed to protect the butter industry in Wisconsin. Many people made "oleo runs" to the Illinois state line to buy the pre-colored stuff.

[@heatherchambers1609]

@@analogdays433 same rule in Québec back then.

[@mommam.6101]

Back in the 40s, I think due to pressure from the dairy industry, margarine could only be sold uncolored. It came in a plastic packet with a color bud (pod???) and you squeezed it to disperse the color. My brother and I fought over who got to squeeze it and it broke. Big trouble. Then you would put it in a mold to make it look like sticks of butter. I think it tasted like Crisco.

They do make sheets of iron on paper that you can copy on a color copier, then iron them onto a t-shirt.
