BALLOON PEDDLER'S HEAVEN (Bob Cox)





Dick.. this is the main park in Puebla, Mexico. A scene thats repeated in many towns, Even though they sometimes crack down on street vendors they never bother balloon peddlers because its a tradition that goes back over a hundred years,
I sold the first Mylars in Mexico for Dave Walker at the Mexico City Fair.
In the old days they used Hydrogen instead of Helium. They made their own by dropping iron filings into sulphuric acid.. a very explosive combo...remember the Hindenberg dirigible??..... have a good day... Bob
