Check an issue of Life Magazine from 1950 and you’d be amazed to see how many companies that were big advertisers are no longer in business.

I have two LIFE magazines one week apart in 1971 and the same holds true. Some ads give prices, too. It is amazing what a dollar used to be worth.

What was a dollar worth then?

"You have a pension?!?"
KMart Pensions are vested and managed by a separate company.

FWIW, some of those gals that worked at the K for decades were making decent money [[add pension and benefits) before K started downsizing [[perhaps the overhead another reason for their downfall).
pay raises were based on seniority.

This has to be pre 1970 because Hot Fudge Sundaes were at least .75$ when I was in high school.
