After my post the other day on Real Returns, my father thought he would send me a real time example. So, I opened a letter the yesterday with a check inside. The check was written by my great grandfather in the 1910s for $0.50. He was a farmer that immigrated from Les Martigny-Baines, Voges France and ended up in Nebraska. That $0.5 is about $13 today…
Look at that penmanship!
