Our contact email address is rtapajna(at)fastmail.net Let it prompt conversations where ever you hang it. It is also great to hang in restaurants or any waiting room.
Note the price difference between live and dressed chickens. It makes an excellent conversational piece, to hang in your kitchen or dining area. You can compare the prices with today prices. You can then multiply the number in terms of wages and income. Note that steaks back then were 25 cents a pound. Fresh ground meat where you could see the meat before it was ground and have the butcher add a little pork to satisfy some peoples' taste buds, was 15 cents a pound. You could get 2 pounds for 25 cents too.
Back then a new automobile could be purchased for under $700 and gas was 10 cents a gallon First class U.S. postage stamps were 3 cents each.
Taking all this in consideration, wages and income today should be from 20 to 35 times more. Evidently this is not the case. And during the world war two, many workers were making the equivalent of a $100,000 or more .
The free ad can be interpreted in many more ways too. Get it free with any other art buy. PLUS, Ray will ship it free to you separately with another surprise art piece including a unique collectible U.S. Postage Stamp with his art on it.
