Gasoline in the 30's and 40's

When I was a kid, the soda shop on the Avenue had 4 large (to me) fishbowls on the counter containing penny candies. He sold new comics for a dime, paid 3¢ for used comics and resold them for a nickel. I'd go collect bottles at the rear of the grocery next door to pay for a comic and a cone with two scoops and sprinkles for a nickel each. Just the other day, the local ice cream parlor changed their payment policy to plastic only.
