People stood on street corners and sold these for a nickel just to earn money during the great deprssion?
In 1929 and 1930, there was a surplus of apples in the Pacific Northwest. The International Apples Shippers Association hit on the idea that they would sell a carton of 72 apples back east for $1.75 and an individual could sell them on street corners for 5 cents a piece. After expenses, the seller could make $1.85 a day. The slogan was, "Buy an Apple a day and ease the Depression away." The fad only lasted about a year and did not help ease the Depression much.
