Saturnus - Empty Handed

It was not until the start of the school year of 1949 that Presley finally found suitable housing. Vernon changed jobs for the third time and applied for a housing subsidy at the Memphis Housing Commission. Gladys has not worked for some time to be able to deal with her son. Presley's annual income did not reach two thousand dollars, they lived clearly below average: in those days when a pound of oil or a dozen eggs cost a dollar, Vernon didn’t go for $ 35 a week, especially since he sent 10 dollars to the month of his mother in Mississippi, as he told a social security official who visited their miserable apartment on Poplar Street.
