Uncle Louie or Max Caravelli gave haircuts for 35 cents.  Remember leaving the barber shop with the fifteen cents change from a fifty-cent piece, and crossing the street to Flitcraft's Drug Store where a plain milkshake cost ten cents and a pack of crackers five cents?  If one wasn't hungry, 15 cents got you a milkshake with ice cream!

Remember leaving the school grounds during recess at the Lincoln avenue school and going to Schlecht's Bakery at the railroad and East Kings highway?  There one could get an ice cream cone or pie, but the delightful smells coming from the bakery at the rear of the shop were free.

On the shore of Evans Lake were many canoes.  A seasonal trip each year was to paddle down Cooper's Creek with the tide all the way to the Delaware River.  It was tide water from Evans to the Delaware as there were no dams then to interfere.  The return trip to Haddonfield on the incoming tide was easy on those tired shoulders and arms.

Mrs. Jesse Haydock recalls what a picturesque ride that was through the countryside that was so primitive and untouched by civilization and industry.
