    Can’t speak for the veracity, but I’ve got two magnets with the following:

    1934

    Average income = $1,601.00
    Loaf of bread = $.08
    Gallon of gas = $.10
    Gallon of milk = $.45

    New car = $625.00
    New house = $5,972.00

    1958

    Average income = $4,650.00
    Loaf of bread = $.19
    Gallon of gas = $.24
    Gallon of milk = $1.01

    New car = $2,155.00
    New house = $11,975.00
