50 Years Ago...

We had a little celebration for Grandma and Grandpa Bennett's 50th Anniversary and Grandpa's 3/4 of a century Birthday at Market Street Grill. Aside from enjoying some Bennett family good times, we also got to enjoy some fabulous seafood. Mike brought a fact sheet about what was happening in the world the year Grandma and Grandpa were married. I thought it was interesting and wanted to share some facts I found about what things cost in 1958:

House: $30,000

Average income: $4,650

Ford car: $1967-$3929

Milk: $1.01

Gas: $.24

Bread $.19

Postage stamp: $.04
