In Muscatine on Saturday, November 17, 1951, Dale wrote, “To Batterson’s department store & bought $65 worth of clothes for Stan & Dalene. Watched football on TV in the afternoon. Kids went to a show. 20° above at 5 P.M. TV at night. Gave old davenport to Walkers.” That $65 would be $605 in 2016 – a lot of clothes.
