Imagine buying that acre of land you have spotted for 51425! Or. even at the higher price of $10 Those are the prices offered to our founding fathers to encourage sets tlement of the wilderness areas of this nation. A stage wasn't the most Comfortable way to go, but you could get From city to city for as little as $3 - at the amazing pace of six miles per hour. Compare today's wages with a 127hour day in the early 1800's, A man earned 50c a day. Of course his dollar bought a little more than today's. Butter in 1826 was about 5:: 1b in the Midwest; eggs, 3c doz.; corn 6a: bu, wheat, 25:1: tau; and a cow could be bought for $5. With travel becoming the American tradi- tion, you could choose train, wagon, horseback or the water. A canal rider with bed and board included, averaged 3 or 4c per mile. And when you reached your cies- tination, you could sit down to a 5,01' even 10 course meal for 256. tLadies 20$, in consideration of appetiteJ Farmers in the early 1800's could own the Famous McCormick Reaper For a mere $100. But the Civil War increased prices as the machine became the first item Farmers could buy on time payments for the sum of $1,500 A good suit of clothes then might cost $1.95 and ladies waists tblousest were marketed for 49c to $3.50 with a whole dress pattern prited at 150:. Cookstoves, A'quaiity-satisfaction guaran- teed, Could cost you $29.25 at $4 per month and a dandy heating stove could set you back as much as $5.73 and up. The first electric refrigerator cost $900 - which might be enough to make you faint on your 1907 fainting couch that had cost a mere $765. Your new baby travelled in the height of fashion in a wicker steeping coach tstroii- art for the sum of $12.04. IF you had $1,500 in 1903 you could show off in one of the first automobiles. Ah, those were the days Some of the cur- rent prices are reminiscent of those days, but at frontier prices, which were a whole different story. Hardy pioneers had to pay $2 a pound for sugar, too. And the same for a pound of coffee or pepper. Those items were only 151: per pound back in civ- ilized St. Louis. Flour was marked up 100 times for sale to the Erontiersmen and dup ing the famous Gold Rush, that precious commodity went for $400 a barrel.
