THIS SEEMS ABOUT RIGHT

I would say that this is from the 50's. I remember these prices very well. Fondly, even.

I would have gone to Stroudsburg, PA., the county seat to be in a Woolworths. 15-20 miles.

I remember the smell. Particularly the coffee.

They used to have bulk cookies and candies along one wall. Those smells.

In the back that "dry goods" smell.

When I lived in Boston all the way until the 90's when they closed the store, I think, Woolworths smelled the same.

By that time, they had the cookies and candies in boxes and the soda fountain was a whole lot more expensive. But the coffee smelled the same.
