Circa early sixties I worked at the local Doyle lumber yard sweeping the aisles (Loogootee Indiana)
PAY 50 Cents/hour
Circa mid sixties I ran the motion picture projector at our local Ritz theater then E 50 Drive In
PAY $2 per hour
At that theatre admission was 15c for kids and 25c for adults, popcorn was 5c bag or 10c box, cokes were 10 c. In mid sixties it raised to 25c for kids and 50c for adults. Two men owned the theatre and raised a family off its earnings. Two men also ran the barber shop and cut hair for 50c a head and put their kids through college
