This Day in History: 1941-08-21
The local Acme Market’s ad in the Ramsey Journal reflected the height of the produce season. Corn was 23 cents for a dozen ears, cantaloupes were 5 cents each, carrots were three bunches for 10 cents, and cucumbers and peppers were four for 10 cents. The feature of the week was watermelons at 25 cents each. Extra large ones were for 29 cents. Two large 18-oz. loaves of bread were 15 cents. (Bristow)
