Imagine buying that acre of land you have spotted for $125! Or, even at the higher price of $10 Those are the prices offered to our founding fathers to encourage set- tlement of the wilderness areas of this nation A stage wasnit the most comfortable way to go, but you could get from city to city For as little as $3 - at the amazing pace of six miles per hour. Compare today's wages with a 12-hour clay in the early 1300'; A man earned 50c a day. OF course his dollar bought a little more than today's. Butter in 1826 was about 5c lb. in the Midwest: eggs, 3c doz.; corn 6:: bu., wheat. 25$ bu.; and a cow could be bought for $5. With travel becoming the American tradi- lion, you could choose train, wagon. horseback or the water. A canal ride, with bed and board included, averaged 3 or 40: per mile. And when you reached your des- tination, you could sit down to a 5, or even 10 course meal for 250:. iLadies 20m, 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 tblousesi were marketed for 49a to $3.50 with a whole drese pattern priced at 15c. Cookstoves. quality-satisfaction guaran- teed, could cost you $2925 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 touch that had cost a mere$7.55. Your new baby traveiled in the height of fashion in a wicker sleeping coach tstroll- 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 15c per pound back in Civ- ilized St Louis. Flour was marked up 100 times for sale to the frontiersmen and dur- ing the famous Gold Rush. that precious commodity went for $400 a barrel.
