This ad came from an old Fincastle Herald, 1949, the beginning of the year. It is an advertisement for my husband's grandfather's store. Check out the prices.
25 POUNDS of sugar for $2.19.
Salad Dressing, $0.39 a quart.
Coffee $0.64 a pound.
Imagine if stuff cost that today, and you still earned what you earned today. Of course back then a dollar went a lot further than it does today. I can drop $100 in Walmart without blinking if I'm not careful.
