I was just reading a letter dated 1933 from a man who was referring to his childhood in the 1880's. He stated they got $2.50 for a cord of cut/split wood and 35 cents for white oak ties for the railroad. Kinda puts things in perspective, doesn't it?
Of course, eggs were 4 cents a dozen and a butchered hog went for $3.50...
When their township decided to build a new school, each family had to supply two logs for the building.
