(I didn't realize it was a Wednesday, huh!)<br />Prices in 1903: Bread, $0.04/load; Milk, $0.29/gal (Thomas was a milk dealer so this is an interesting piece of information to me.) You could buy a house for $4000 and mail a letter for $0.02. The average Income was $703/yr.Becky Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04375430428083496025noreply@blogger.com
