    Yes, a nostalgic paper, I had my salary in an envelope too when I started to work in 1968.

    Historical documents are important to recall the past.

    My math shows $.60/hour assuming an 8 hour day. Neat piece of the past.

    When I was a youngster, my family had a coal furnace. I remember the coal truck coming to deliver a load of coal and I remember my dad shoveling it into the furnace. Now I've really dated myself.

    I don't think I've ever had a pay packet - just a cheque and now everything seems to be direct deposit!

    Sundry's one of those words that never gets used anymore.

    And this person had to pay .65¢ for the doctor - by Wayne's reckoning, that's more than his hourly wage!

    I have not seen a pay packet slip for many a year. And handwritten too.

    This pay envelope must have been from the 1930s. In the 1950s my first job, exercising horses in the morning, paid $1.25 an hour, but we only worked mornings being done by noon. I thought I was rich back then.

    Where I work we have new management and people are all up in arms because the pay will be by cheque and not direct deposit. Things have come a long way, indeed!

    I have been cleaning out my basement, Andy. Half of the stuff there is eligible for museums. If I don't throw it in the trash first.

    The wages aren't so hot...but $ .65 for a doctor? Simpler times!
