A print ad for
Rand McNally "Auto Trail Maps"
from 1922. This ran well before the extensive well-developed road networks we take for granted today. At 35 cents each, adjusting for inflation, that's about $4.50 today. And far more comprehensive nation-wide maps come "free" with many smart phones today. At some point comparing value on inflationary terms alone becomes meaningless.
