October 17, 1908, Menasha Record
Crime rears its ugly head in our fair city, forging checks from a notable civic leader and businessman. Now, $65 doesn't sound like much but the inflation calculator I found tells me the buying power for that 65 dollars in 1908 amounted to $2174. Yes, it IS hard to believe. And that $500 bail? $16,227.66. Wow.
