This has been said before and since I am so "young", I can't say with any authority... How much was an average worker making in 1950 per week, compared to how much an average person makes now. I bet $25 was a weeks wages...??

At one time I had listed a California price list from the 60's, that would be itneresting to compare prices against each other, or better yet, a listing like Ralphs over a 30 year time period... Maybe skipping every 2-3 years...

If anyone has a bunch of listings, I would be glad to scan them in, post them here on the forum and also send them back to you... This might be very interesting to read and see the prices go up?
