Do you think this Much Money for Chickens is Ripping me Off [Roll Eyes]

This is actually a page out of a 1934 Montgomery Ward Catalog.Since that was almost the height of The Great Depression of the 30's; a $1.90 may have been a good sum of Money. I remember my Parents talking about the Depression. Very Terrible Time for Most People in our Country's History...

And No;I have no desire to be in the Chicken Business! [thumbsdown]
