My first regular job was half a day my senior year in high school. I worked as a secretary at the Methodist Church. 75 cents an hour = good pay for high school jobs in those days. Typed the bulletins on mimeograph stencils and ran them off. Oh, the typewriter was an Underwood manual. I didn't like being in the large buildings alone most of the time though (the buildings creaked). Changed to Firestone. Tv had just come in and lots were buying a tv at Firestone on credit so I worked in the credit department. I can't imagine Firestone selling Tv's but in those days they had appliances and tv's as well as tires. Tvs and appliances were much more expensive in those days compared to salaries.
