The Dollar

The purchasing power of $1 is only 60.8-c- as contrasted with July, 1914.

Recovery since the peak of inflation (July, 1920) is, however, marked by the fact that since the peak the cost of living has dropped 19.5%.

The cost of living dropped .2% in January.

These figures were furnished by the National Industrial Conference Board.
