In 1917, a penny could buy a variety of items depending on the region and economic conditions. Common purchases could include a loaf of bread, a newspaper, a postage stamp, or a small piece of candy. The purchasing power of a penny was significantly higher in 1917 compared to today due to inflation and changes in the economy over the past century.
