When I was in 4th grade, I made good money selling NFL football pencils. If you're in your mid to late 30's, you probably remember the pencils that came out and had the two colors of an NFL team and their logo on them...I discovered that my friend, who's dad owned a local drug store could buy them in these big boxes of 100, so I'd buy them at the box rate about $10 and sell the pencils 2 for 35 cents, so was making about 15 cents profit from every two I sold. If the kids wanted to buy them in regular packs at the store, they were something like 80 cents for a pack of 3.
