The shade of blue reminds me: In early spring of '52, when I was 17, I was
nearing high school graduation, and of course, wanted to attend the
associated functions. The fashion for boys attending such functions at that
time was a dark blue suit. I had not a "proper" suit since I was 10, and
Mom and Dad could not afford to buy one for me. I had been working
part-time in a grocery store for a couple of years, so I was making a
"little bit" of money, but I didn't have enough to buy a suit. About this
time a traveling salesman came along selling suits made-to-order. Such a
suit would cost me $50 paid in five ten-dollar payments. I agreed to the
plan, picked out the material and color from the salesman's swatches, and he
took my measurements and had the suit tailored. I made the appropriate
payments, and the suit arrived a day or two before the first graduation
function. I got a quite surprise when I opened the package to find a suit
in THAT shade of blue - a BRIGHT, royal blue! It was the material and
color I had picked via the small swatches, and I was terribly disappointed,
but I never said a word about it to anybody - just wore the embarrassing
suit to the graduation functions and never wore it again.
