How much is that doggie in the window?

Have you started playing the "I remember when it only cost....?" game.
The game can be played by almost any age group.

Do you need a resource to jog your memory of what something cost?
In our reference collection, we have The Value of a Dollar 1860-2004, 3rd edition.

It's interesting to flip through and note what has increased (and sometimes decreased) in cost. There are charts and graphs for income and expenses (food basket- in 1905 beef steaks cost 13.64 cents a pound in Atlanta; education- Harvard was only $150 a year in 1911).

Get those statistics for when you start playing the "I remember when it only cost..." game.
