Historical prices for goods & services in the United States. August 11, 1998
This is an excellent reference tool, providing historical prices of goods and services in the U.S. from 1860-1989. Prices are based on actual advertisments from the various years. Several prices from each year are often provided, and the region is indicated (so you can see the difference between a 1 bedroom apt in NYC and a similar apt in Los Angeles). Covers household goods, groceries, clothes, movie and train tickets, cars, gasoline and houses. Also gives standard wages for various professions. The major flaw is a sporadic coverage -- you may not find the item you're looking for in the year that you want; it provides an excellent overview, however, and works very well if you want to look at a range of a few years instead of just at one year.
