Nickel Prices Across The West Sees Sluggish Buying
From Texas to California, the nickel buys little as OPA effects fade. Texans report higher costs out west with coffee and soda at New Mexico stores costing a dime and California orange juice often at 20 to 25 cents. San Francisco tops price lists with hamburgers at 35 cents and Texas chili at 50 cents. A Pecos man jokes about a square meal, while a Las Vegas employee notes Lost Wages with 70 percent of dam wages going to gambling during construction. A San Francisco zoo seal performs for crowds, and Petrified Forest rangers seize dozens of pounds of wood daily. Los Angeles shines with endless nights and new residents, and a Redlands businessman touts California abundance before a desert guide recalls Normandy jumps.
