Did most notice the phone number"54" in upper left? Our phone in 48 was a wooden box about 10 inch wide by 20 inch high and mounted on a wall. It had a seperate hand crank on right side to ring operator or ring any of several other homes on that same wire.(Our phone didn't use numbers) Compare that to a picture taking cell which can do many things while driving or flying etc. Big change in phones but a Farmall H is still a good design 60 years later. That $1800 in 1948 could have bought a new familly car. My uncle built a new smaller 3 bedroom home for $8,000 so a new Farmall was not a small purchase in 48. Just thought I toss is a few other items from 1948 for the younger people to compare the changes in 60 years. There were huge changes from just after ww2 till late 1950's. WW2 was the big industrial change in mechanical items from lingering effects of the 1930's depression. In a way I'am glad to have seen much of it. ag
