One will say that a dollar would
buy so much more then as now. Mer-
chandise was not so cheap then as
you might think because Of the lack
Of transportation facilities. II is true
that the purchasing power Of a dollar
was great but we did not have the
dollar. IL was not question as to
what n man would work for but
whether he could get job at all. Men
have come To me and begged me TO
give them work for themselves, wagon
and team at 81 per day and dinner for
