This was the years when my mother and ...Hello Anne. This was the years when my mother and daddy were newly weds. Got married in 1921. And the children started coming pretty fast. I'm sure they never paid prices this high for anything, so don't know how they got by. I know when I was small, born in 1935, daddy only made 50 cents and later a dollar a day. I remember hearing them talk about this. My mother was only 15 when they married. I was the 7th child, then 6 years later, i had a baby brother. Times were hard. If I had been buying Christmas for my husband, it would probably been a coat for that was a needed item. That is if I could have saved the 18.50 price. Not sure how I could have done that tho. Would love to win your book. Thanks!
