Thanks for the history. Makes me think of Walker Evans' photos from the 30s of restaurants and diners with menus posted outside, or on the window... 5 cent lunches and 25c dinners.
1935
50¢ for dinner...mutton stew and dumplings.
USAF (Ret) 1974 - 1994 - The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. Remembering RickO, a brother in arms.

At that time, fifty cents likely brought a fairly good dinner. Cheers, RickO

50 cents for dinner ... and I am convinced some of our current club members would still complain!

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
Okay ... I'll trade you a coin club dinner for this 50 cents. I'll even throw in a second dessert!

In 1937, you could buy a whole roast chicken at a New York restaurant called Yee Hop for a buck. Today, you can’t even buy the herbs to make your own roast chicken for that much
