re: #105 Bear

During the War (WW2) the folks cleaned the tin cans and saved tin foil for recycling. Then some of us kids went around asking for scrap metals.

Soda pop came in glass bottles that were returned as was the quart milk bottles.

When I was a child, one of my kid-novels was a wartime story about a 12-year-old Girl Scout whose grand ambition for the year was to talk somebody down the road into giving up the ‘32 Ford they had up on blocks to the recyclers…
