O.T. blast from the past

Posted by Sherman in Idaho [24.32.249.108] on Monday, October 14, 2013 at 17:22:15 :

I was doing some wiring and grabbed a half-used box of 12/2 romex that I've had for years -- probably got it at a yard sale. This time I noticed on the box was written in grease pencil "4-1/2 c/ft" and "$8.75 whole roll" Inside the box was a had-written receipt from Western Auto for the wire at $8.75 plus "solder" for 69 cents. No sales tax. Date was 10/29/62. That wire would be $67 today. Plus tax.
