I must be really old. How about:
The Ice Man
The Fuller Brush Man
Ten cent Saturday Matinee
DixiCup tops with celeb pictures
Ever play kick the can
4 foul balls you're out
The Shadow Knows
Up, up and away (Superman's cry on Radio to let us know he was flying)
Two gun cap pistol sets with low slung holsters--Mine was Hopalong Casedy but Roy Rogers had a set too

I miss the neighborhood where my parents never locked the front door because: "How would the neighbors get in if there was a problem or they needed to borrow something?"

My senior year in HS (62-63) and freshman year in college (63-64) I remember "gas wars" where regular got down to 13 cents, too bad my 54 Buick with a 55 V8 engine burned the high octane premium which only got down to 19 cents. But being presmog and other requirement days it also got 21-23 miles to the gallon depending on conditions and my lead foot. When my mileage dropped to 19 I knew it was time for tuneup.

Not on a Rural Route, but then the Mailman would also deliver large cardboard transport boxes of baby chicks from the hatchery 25 miles away right to my Grandparents farm house and even carry them to the chicken house for my Grandmother - of course getting a cup of coffee or chocolate and some homemade biscuits or cornbread with homemade butter, jam or jelly might have had something to do with the great service. The fact he had been one of my father's classmates in school figured in also.
Everyone in a small town knows everyone else and it greatly improves service and job quality.

Just a few years ago when I still got a "paper" newspaper (I get the online version now.) the delivery guy drove a pickup or SUV with his two teenage kids in the back throwing the papers as he went down the street in low gear at about 5 mph very early in the morning. (Early enough that I took my paper to school with me-I left between 5:15 and 5:30.) Then he took them to breakfast and dropped them off at school. Then he and his wife would spend the rest of the day driving around and delivering flyers etc until time to pick up the kids from school. An immigrant family - and the whole family hustled to make it here in the US. It would not surprise me if their kids end up as bosses or owners of a business.

An essay I read about life on an Ohio Farm in the 50's said "It is a good thing we never heard of cholesterol or we would have all dropped dead."
Same goes for how many calories we eat. In Army Basic (1966) we were feed aprx 6000 calories a day, and I lost weight. Same reason farmers and other workers in the days of hand tool work ate huge amounts and looked like starving refugees compared to people today.

There are so few pay phones left because just about everyone has a cell phone. There are still automat's but they're certainly not as popular as they were. All my grandchildren learn how to tie shoelaces. I see analog clocks all the time and analog watches also. Penny candy still exists, it just costs a nickel now. 8 track tapes were a bad idea back in the 1970's, good riddance. There are still millions of land line phone's still in use in the USA and no doubt, elsewhere. Like many things from our past, the Fuller Brush man became obsolete. You may still purchase Fuller Brush products the same way many, many products are sold today, on the internet, especially Amazon.com. I'm real curious why you put Radio on your list. How do you think cell phones and wireless laptop computer's and tablets and remote controlled drones and that voice coming from car speakers, all work?! Radio. Heck, my brand new 2018 motorcycle has a AM/FM radio/mp3 player.
I saw someone list roof top TV antennas. Due to the proliferation of cable TV, roof top antennas have become obsolete and in many of the areas where they still play a roll, local zoning ordinances require them to be mounted in the attic.

Several are still around. Paperboys now older and in cars or trucks. Bottomless cups of coffee are common here. Cigarette machines although less plentiful, are still around. Kids walking to school - everyday occurrence thses parts. Until a few years ago, at least one of our hospitals required nurses to dress in the older style of uniforms including the hat - gone now, but not very long ago. There are 2 "all digital" drive-ins nearby. Never been, but assume its quite different from the ones of yesteryear. I do miss the full service attendants at the gas stations though.lol
Fed two at McD's for a buck.
