Penny Postcard

Hey guys, Don't know where my mother in law found this but I thought it was neat and wanted to share it with you. Its a postcard from 1928 from a company in Bottineau, North Dakota. Its rebuild prices for a Model T. Wish we could rebuild our old trucks for these prices!

It is really hard to comprehend the value the dollar had back then. I think Henry was paying his assembly line folks $5 a week? Something like that.

O/T -- It was reported in today's paper that a postcard from North Dakota was delivered recently, that was mailed 47 yrs ago.
