Sheiks and Shebas

What is there about 1926?

We now have two graduates from that class who are intending to attend the September Celebration.

We told you about Mary Rothwell.

Now, a fellow classmate, Cliff Bartells will be joining her.

Cliff will be 98 in October. His granddaughter says that he still lives in his own house by himself (in the Seattle area), still drives and goes camping in the summer among other activities.

$100 in 1926 is equivalent to $1,121.47 today.

Average earnings for men = $28.98
Average earnings for woman = $16.95
Average weekly hours = 49.8
Average wage in the US = $0.38/hour

Loaf of bread = $0.09
Gallon of milk = $0.56
Pound of butter = $0.56
Gallon of gas = $0.12
New Ford auto = $495
New home = $7,682
