∙ 8y agoVery definitely not. If you think about it for a second or two, that would mean a car and a candy bar would have cost the same!
Some sample prices from the time:
- Bacon was 38 cents per pound
- Mid-size cars were in the range of $450 to $800
- A dozen eggs cost 18 cents
- A pair of pyjamas cost about $2
- A moderate-sized house could sell for $3000 to $7000
- An iron sold for $5
Of course these prices were all relative, because wages and salaries were comparably lower. The US Census reported the average American income in 1939 was under $1500 per year.
