Batteries cheaper now than in 1913
A Prest-O-Lite comparison argues that 1913 dollars stretched differently across goods. Building costs yield 46.0 cents per dollar, clothing 31.8 cents, furniture 34 cents, shoes 60 cents, and Prest-O-Lite batteries return 1.68 dollars per dollar spent, meaning 68 cents more value than paid. Streicher cites growing automobile industry and standardized production as reasons for lower modern prices.
