Ex-Grocer recounts half century of Logan prices and wages
George Stallsmith a former Logan grocer recalls the 1890s and early 1900s in Logan describing wage scales of a dollar a day eight hours plus overtime, cheap staples such as flour at 65 cents per 50 pounds and eight pounds of meal for 10 cents, and the hand-sorted beans, salt pork barrels, and lack of milk cans. He notes how sugar, butter, eggs, and coffee were sold, and contrasts then with today.
