Yep.

In 1930, a dozen eggs went for thirty six cents. Or, around $6.40 today.

No, I wasn’t around then, but I do remember nickel candy bars (just before they soared to a dime).

Woolworth’s. JJ Newberry. Kresge’s.

I loved Woolworth’s lunch counter. And they sold Evening in Paris perfume which I’d buy for Mom.
