Rental Comics

My dad shared something he used to do after school when he was a kid in the 1940's .....

There was a comic book shop that allowed you to pick a comic and read through it until you are done for 10 centabos.  He explained that it was just a room with comics hanging with a bench. The owner also sold soda, candy and other treats.

However with a 30 centabos daily allowance he was very limited to what he can do after school.
