Decade - 1920s

The general cost of living rose dramatically in the early 1920's. This is what was known as the Great Depression which affected the economy of the world.

Yes they did. Just watch some old movies. Hattie McDaniel (Mammy in Gone With the Wind) when chastened for playing so many maids in movies said

"I would rather make 150.00 a week playing a maid than be one for 15.00".

Advertising has had impact from the moment it was first used to introduce the masses to consumer goods. In the 1920s advertising reflected the feeling of the era by the way it was designed and how well it was used to promote the good times of the day.

it didnt.

Optimism was the general mood of the 1920's. People were optimistic because the economy was seemingly doing well, there were jobs, and people could afford to do things they could never before.

Some signs that American businesses in the 1920s were experiencing success was workers no longer being subject to standing in ration lines. Another indication of success was with the new inventions and advancements that improved American lives.

Many people immigrating to the United States who had little money were steerage passengers. Steerage is the area of the lowest deck well beneath the main deck. Conditions were crowded, unsanitary, and there was little food and water available.

because they have less money so that's why they hired the gas prices up.

The Roaring 20s because of the innovations.

The president of the United States at the time of the Wall Street Crash in 1929 was Herbert Hoover. The crash began on October 24, 1929, known as Black Thursday, and it marked the start of the Great Depression. Hoover's administration faced significant economic challenges as a result of the crash and the subsequent economic downturn.

I have no clue but I know I own one - One from England from a dear old friend - It was in bad shape when we got it and we paid almost $500 to repair and recover it but that was almost 20 years ago - And if someone sat in it 10 times since then, I'd be surprised, it was in a formal living room - that was never used. Did you find out anything about value? I would love to know!

It is hard to generalise as women made up half of the population. pre 1920s they were expected to lead restricted lives. (behave politely, wear no make up, not take part in sports, wear sensible clothes ect.) However during the 1920s things began to change especially for urban and middle class women. Because of the war many women gained experience from work as they took over the mens jobs. They got the vote in all states in 1920. Housework was also made easier because of electrical good such as the vacuum cleaner and washing machine. Behaviour began to ease. Women began to smoke in public, drink with men and wear more daring clothes. They often began to go out with men without a chaperone and they kissed in public. Women began to take on more and more jobs (especially middle class women) Women now had money on their own and so they became a target of advertising. Even women who did not own their own money often became the ones deciding whether to buy new items for their home. Women were less likely to stay in unhappy marriages. Films began to give women a more wide range of models. newspapers, magazines and film industries began to notice that sex sold much better then anything else. However, women were still paid less then men. One reason employment of women increased was because they were cheaper to employ then men. In politics they still were not equal with men. The vote still did not give them political power.

lol I agree

NYSE is not a stock or even a measured average. Did you mean the Dow Jones Industrial Average? That is what people typically refer to if they say the market is up or down.

Dow Jones Industrial Average:

Jan 2, 1920: 108.76

Sept 29, 2011: 11,153.98

So, if you bought $100 into a Dow tracking fund (not sure they existed in 1920), it would be worth about $10,255. There are two caveats, first you'd owe capital gains when you sold it and second $100 in 1920 was a lot of money, According to the difference in the CPI, $100 in 1920 is worth roughly $1000 today:
