Shipping containers

We spent quite a bit of time on the docks since dad was in charge of getting the ships loaded and unloaded. He was there when they first started shipping cargo in containers, like the one they are setting down. Before the containers, there were often boxes damaged either by accident or on purpose, which meant lots of candy bars. The only thing wrong with the candy bars from the OS and D's was that they sat in dad's office where he smoked cigars so you can imagine the added flavor.
