Similar to the local liquor store in my youth. We got 2 cents back on every glass beer bottle we'd return. A buddy and I could score a six pack of Iron City and a pack of Marlboro Reds for under three bucks. If we could pony up a Lincoln between the two of us, we'd be set all night.

My bro’ and I got 3 cents for empty pop bottles in Elk City, OK.
Then it was off to the little food market for Hostess cupcakes & snowballs (12 cents).
And then we hunted little dinosaurs .. . no not really.

Beer bottles weren’t worth anything so I used them for target practice, shooting my Daisy BB gun behind an old honkytonk right off old route 66.

I got pretty good, but had to keep one eye out for the owner. He had a pistol Mexican carry in his waistband, but I figured he might run me off but wouldn’t shoot me.
