It amazes me when I check prices for back then. With wages low it took lots of creative managing for larger families to make sure everyone had the basics, forget about extras!! Parents made everything they could and used and reused everything!!
This is a list of the basic items a family paid in that year. I am amazed at the income families lived on. For 8 of us I can imagine my parents had to do a lot of stretching.
