I got this from a book called Growing up in World War II. Here is what things cost in 1943:

...a first class letter was 3 cents,

...a loaf of bread cost 10 cents,

...a childs haircut was 15 cents,

...a movie was 17 cents,

...a quart of milk was 31 cents,

...a new car cost $900,

...a new house was $3,600

and Averge salary was $2,040/year. 

WOW!! Can you imagine?

I am only on the 2nd chapter and I love it!!

I hope to learn more of World War II.
