How about this,anyone interested? As it says,save more!!! Pay as little as $5 dollars a month!!! How could you go wrong? By the way this is from a Monkey Wards catalog,circa 1940. Wow,how times have changed! ( I sure hope these pictures load) I bought a bunch of stuff at an estate sale,whoever this person was saved a pile of pictures from old magazines from the 20's up through the 60's,car ads,cigarette ads,booze ads,other stuff too,all very interesting.lotsa really cool car ads,I can post a few of those sometime too if anybody is interested.,
You should see my '65 Vic Hubbard's catalog- with listings for Algon injectors for just about any V8 engine you ever heard of
I can remember my grampa saying his first car was a model t that cost $17.00 because they couldn't afford a used model a that was $25.00. Yes, he had to make payments on it too even at that price. I can't remember the down payment maybe $5.00 but his payment was $1 a month.
In 1969 the federal Min wage was 1.65 per hr.. So 66 dollars per week. In 1940 50 cents per hour was considered good. Fuel was 16 cents and a weeks grocery's for a family of 4 was around 6 to 7 dollars. Coke a cola was considered high priced at a Nickle in 1940.
