Jay's memories

There was a gum-ball machine on the counter of the store. Besides the standard gum-balls, there were a few silver balls in the glass container. When you put in your penny and turned the dial, 3-5 gum-balls would drop down the chute. If one of these was a silver colored ball, you could exchange it for a prize (I think a Hershey bar). Whenever we visited the store, we would get at least one try at the gum-ball machine. Somehow, I think Zeyde Jack managed to arrange it so that I won an unreasonable number of silver balls. My memory is that I ALWAYS got one -- but never more than one for any visit. Somehow I'm pretty sure that's not how it really was!
