I'm am...You had to be Ward Kimball, I guess...<br /><br />I'm amazed at the price for children under 12 back in 1958.

Children under 12 $1.00" The inflation calculator sez that in today's dollar that would read, "Complete Chicken Dinner $12.47. Children under 12 $7.34"<br /><br />Hmm and there's the tablecloth pattern thing goin' again, this time it looks more pleasant and tasteful (it is the 50s instead of the 70s hehe) as a handbag and the nice uniform on the National Board Game Champion in training, Checkers Boy.<br /><br />Meanwhile over in the top pic, folks are at the Frontierland Station waiting for the 5:45. They missed the 5:40. What a nice scene it is too, think I'd loiter er sit a spell there m'self.
