Kansas, October 1938, 1/2 mile from the state line.
15½¢ a gallon for gas!
and, yes, at that time, there was a ½¢ coin still in circulation.
Signs of a very different time

A half cent coin! You know, I didn't know there had been such a thing. This photo was taken over 25 years before I was born and yet that Coca Cola sign is as I remember when I was a little girl. Coca Cola has always been my favourite pop, when I do drink it. Pepsi? Nah.

Davina – I don't know if there were half cent coins in Canada. I used to have some US ½¢ coins in the 1950s, though they were no longer being produced. I guess, technically, they would still be valid today, but most people might think they were fake and not accept them.
