Billy Wise kept most of the pop bottles cleaned up. How ever if you could find a stray 2 quart one or however much was in it, you could score a nickle............Balls a poppin..I always liked the dime machine better, easier to beat, but my all time favorite was the one @ wil-mac with the balls in the middle that you would knock to the other side to get a game. 35cent hamburgers and 25cent french fries..........yep yep

I used to deliver the Pittsburgh Press to the pool hall and Butch let me charge enough games of pool to pay for his paper. He basically got it for free. Remember nickle dime? winner paid nickle, loser a dime. Remember pee pool, who needs a breaker?  ? Gary spinda, and jerry murry were two of the hustlers that I remember well............ |

I remember buying many many bottles of pop from the machine at Morris's store also stopping after school at hick's garage and putting dozens of dimes in the gumball machine's to get a stripped ball and win a free candy bar. I beleive I could have bought many more than I won with the dimes I spent to win one.

Remember the old pop cooler in Hick's, where the pop sat in chilled water? I wonder if any bacteria ever grew in the water of those old machines? I guess we were immune to it. |

Of course that was my neighborhood. I talked about them in a thread over in the General Discussion board.... www.fallscreekpa.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=40Spotless Cleaners....I couldn't remember the name. My earliest recollections are of Joe Fustine owning it. Did somebody else own it before that? In the old advertisements(1950) that I posted there was a "Noker Dry Cleaning".... I haven't found any oldtimers yet though that can tell us what was originally in that building that Collins & Nolder had. |
