I would think a TV was a big-ticket luxury item for either one of them.. Ralph & Ed were POOR...Seems like I remember Ralph saying he made 50 bucks a week...Not a helluva lot, even back in 1955. My dad, when he started in 1949, got $35 a week..after 6 months, they gave him a raise to $50 a week, but he had to come back after supper & wash up the presses.. He thought he was shittin' in high cotton when he got to $100 a week...
