The Caldwell Tribune, June 27, 1896, p. 1
I came
across this notice while searching the digital newpaper archives of The Library of
Congress ( http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/
). The loss to Mr Elg of USD 1500 translates
to at least 36 900 USD today – or as much as 1.6 MUSD, depending on the
method used to compute the current value. For the complexities of understanding the historic value of money,
