My Dad liked to talk about the story of back in 52' when his father and brother got new vehicles. They used to store potatoes in the basement in those days and they had each a wagon load of seed for sale left over. Guessing the wagon in those days was maybe 16' long you might get 100 bags on the wagon at 100 lbs./bag so that's only 10 000 lbs. potatoes pre wagon. They hauled the 2 wagons to town O'Leary PEI and sold them. Came back home and the next day drove my Grandfather's car to his sister's in O'Leary and told her she could have it. They boarded the train for Summerside with only the money from selling the 2 loads of seed and went to the Chevy dealership. Granddad bought a new 52' Chevy 4dr sedan and my uncle bought a new 52' Chevy truck. I'm guessing my uncle had cash left over because I think in those days cars were more expensive than trucks. Anyways whatever was the actual real dollar happenings 2 wagons of potatoes wouldn't buy more than a couple parts today let alone 2 new vehicles.
