I remember the Duncan "yoyo man" coming to a lot across from the store where they sold them. He would demonstrate his incredible two handed simultaneously yoyo skills, hold contests and pass out patches and even sweaters to the winners (sometimes yours truly). I remember buying penny candy, Cracker Jacks, riding a one speed bike with a coaster brake and balloon tires, playing marbles, flying kites we built ourselves as well as purchased, building flying model balsa and paper airplanes from kits, red and blue plastic mills, buying 10 and 25 cent savings stamps and sticking them in books for that purpose to accumulate enough to purchase savings bonds...
