The orange strips came in a box with a light dusting of powdered sugar (probably) with some corn starch, to keep them from sticking, along with that sheet of paper between layers.
Dots; the little sugar dots on a strip of paper. They were always so cool and seemed a wise choice but always left you wanting?
Wanting perhaps for those spearmint mint leaves with that crust of sugar?
Or wanting for a small paper bag of malted milk balls? Yech, if you got a stale ball mixed in with a good bag .. all nice an crunchy.
The sound of the bell that rang when you opened the door of Mrs. Wozinak's "house" .. it wasn't a store and there was no sign, to rouse her from her easy chair, just a glass counter in her living room.

There was Carl and Mary's at the corner of Beatty and Home, they sold everything, even had a soda fountain. There was Bennies near Holy Cross Church on Grand St. right across from the school.
