You know there were some things out of place on Andy, like the coors beer
truck, the train Barney came in on with Tina Andrews had never gone any where
near North Carolina, a gold truck coming from Denver and heading to Fort Knox
Ky. via way out of the way of Mayberry but as for other things like the
medicine hawker, yes Wakipedia may say that the last was in 51 but I know for a
fact we had one come through here in the early 70,s, at the same time we had a
butter and egg man coming to the house and a company named jewel t that carried
open accounts on items such as soaps and home good items going door to door on
a weekly basis. My grandma and my aunt both had party lines, I remember as a
kid staying all night at their homes and my brother and I lifting the receiever
and playing spy listening to the conversations. It was also common see horses
and buggies going down the roads in our town in fact we still have the law on
the books saying that you can't tie your horse up on the main street on
sundays.
The point behind this post is just to point out while some towns may have
been advanced at that time, not all were and weren't for sometime after the
show even went off air. I live on the out skirts of Cincinnati and they had
many advancements yet our small town didn't see them until the 70's.
"Outrageous! Sheer idiocy! I can't believe this is happening to me!! A public
utility being tied up like this, You people are living in another world!!!
This is the 20th century, don't you know that? The whole world is living in a
desperate space age, Men are orbiting the earth, International television has
been developed And here, a whole town is standing still because two old women's
feet fall asleep "
"I wonder what causes that"
Yes some of us were living in another world, and what I wouldn't give to have
it back...
