Danny ,
I like to see things in perspective...
What Things Cost in 1936:
Car: $600
Gasoline: 19 cents/gal
House: $6,200
Bread: 8 cents/loaf
Milk: 48 cents/gal
Postage Stamp: 3 cents
Stock Market: 180
Average Annual Salary: $1,600
Couldn't track the buy in of Hawley's Road Chief...they were
bankrupt by 36'.... but Wally's unit could be had for $1200.00
... a little less then average annual salary. Of course ,
Schicklegruber changed everything... especially the availability
of aircraft grade aluminum .
BTW ..happy birthday all you USAF Retirees/Veterans ! in 1947 the U.S. Army
Air Forces became the U.S.A.F. (Dad served in both...plank member Air Rescue).
into the wild blue yonder...
