The average wage in the U.S. during the 20's was very close to 3300 bucks.You could have that home for less than a years salary.What kind of home could you buy with the average annual salary now?lol

you know if Sears had turned around in the late 90's and put their catalog online, they would be the amazon of today.

sears had a greedy CEO that wanted the property, ran the business in the ground, sold off the rights to things that made it a great store, gone, next will be jc penny's
