he opened a medicine bag please contact local natives to handle the bag. No one was allowed to open another's and when a warrior died, the bag was buried with him. To lose a medicine pouch signified a man had lost his “medicine” and he faced great dishonor and was ridiculed in the tribe. It also meant a bad omen for the future.

In the 60s gas stations were full service. In 1964 unpaid $.25.9 a gallon for gas. They washed windows and lights, checked the tire pressure and fluid levels. She I paid for gas I'd get green stamps and a choice of a towel or glass. More than once I got all that when I spent less than a dollar for gas.

[@pamelalaub6204]

My MIL bought us muslin full-size sheets with green stamps for a wedding present. That was despite us telling her we were putting our twin beds together to make a king size bed. She'd carefully cut out the green stamp label so they considered it to be opened and wouldn't take it back. The game is croquet. Crochet is what was done to make doilies.

H&S stamps were given to you as a customer for amount purchased and could be traded for different kinds of things. I have gotten sets of dinner wear, Pans and just all kinds of things. Just a way to get back. My Mom collected them when I was a kid and when I was a young married I still could get them and it was a nice little deal to get something special. Many stores and pharmacies gas stations had them. I collected them all. We are talking back in the early 50's into the 70's or later. Sometimes I let the kids have them to get something they wanted in the catalog.
