A husband and wife are shopping in their local Wal-Mart.
The husband picks up a case of Budweiser and puts it in their cart.
"What do you think you're doing?" asks the wife.
"They're on sale, only $10 for 24 cans" he replies.
"Put them back, we can't afford them" demands the wife, and so they carry on shopping.
A few aisles further on along the woman picks up a $20 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket.
"What do you think you're doing?" asks the husband.
"It's my face cream. It makes me look beautiful," replies the wife.
Her husband retorts: "So does 24 cans of Budweiser and it's half the price."

He never knew what hit him.

My ex-wife once signed up for a $199 subscription to some beauty creams that came in little white-lidded lavender-colored plastic jars... two or three different formulas, delivered every month for like 6 months.
The only "beauty" that ever came from them (and she finally agreed this was true !) was that all my little screws and washers and tacks and rubber bumpers, etc.......were now organized and labeled in neat rows and stacks. Damn near as good as my father's collection in baby food jars !

Did your Dad screw the lid to the bottomside of shelves in order to screw the jar to the lid ?

Grandpa had bunch of 4x4 that spun with mason jars and the lids like your saying about 200 instead of drawers etc. they hung in garage rafters he was about 7 ft tall so could reach em.

There is a song about the similar topic. The girls all get prettier at closing time.

Yes Jarhead, they were screwed to the bottom of the shelves over his workbench.
My guess is, it was either just a common knowledge thing or possibly spurred by a tip given in Popular Mechanics magazine or such. Have seen the same jar-use in dozens of shops over the years.
I remember breaking a jar of washers one time....had crawled up on the bench to get it, and dropped it, crawling down. My older sister came to my rescue by helping me clean up the broken glass very thoroughly, after showing me how to use a magnet to get all the washers without getting cut.... pretty smart for a 9yr old, known mostly as the bookworm in the family, huh ? Replaced the jar with another from the family stash in the pantry... not sure Dad ever knew.
I was 7 at the time, and was quite surprised at my older sister's helpfulness in the matter. Always close, only 22 months apart, but I think we bonded a bit more that day.
Thanks for the memory jog, Jar.
