A lot of you would classify indoor plumbing, central heat, grocery money and gasoline as ‘needs’ But wait, are they really always needs? Food was preserved by canning, drying or storing in a cool cellar or the ice house. For humans, the most basic needs are air to breathe, some kind of food to eat and water to drink.

Most telephones were on a party line (and yes the parties did ease drop on each other, but they also let us do ‘conference’ calls). Food/shopping. Fast food was rare. Most food at the grocery store came from the USA. Gasoline stations did not serve food, have coffee or provide bath rooms.
