I don't even want to tell you how much Pannama Red cost in the US Canal Zone during the late 1950's!

Ahhhh, the good old days.

Well, since we were on an island, I guess the cost included shipping and handling!!! :S2:

I might add, weed cost two dollars more then the price of a short time, but the match box lasted longer!
