Nice touch for the Times to reprint the banner for Chateau-Thierry in 1918. I see the price went up from two cents to three. FDR’s inflationary policies, no doubt. That penny was worth it for Hanson Baldwin’s analysis though.
Today’s NYT isn’t worth three cents.
3 cents in 1944 is equivalent to 41 cents today. The actual NY Times newsstand price is now $2.50.
