Really nice footage Todd. I cant help but notice how thin and well dressed everybody was back then. Not a pair of sweatpants in sight!

Notice the amount of staff they had working. You wonder how they made money selling burgers at 20 cents each however I guess with the average male income at $3000 (and women made less than half) the overhead wasn't too bad either.

please notice that a lot of the employees were kids. Hourly  rate in 1953 would have been at the most $1.00 hr or less. Minimum wages didn't exist back then ! Also a high volume operation and that is the name of the game in the food business !

We had a couple of locations of Red Barn in my hometown of London, Ontario. I remember my sister getting food poisoning from a fish sandwich there and she never ate fish again.
