The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics gives that figure in its historical comparison of 1915 prices. That equates to roughly $2.30–$2.40 in today's purchasing power, depending on which inflation measure/current year you use. The more important historical point is that 7 cents was a meaningful everyday purchase, not pocket change. ]]></description><link>https://www.deniecehama.com/post/how-much-would-a-loaf-of-bread-and-quart-of-milk-cost-in-1915</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a9091395635ed66de2195ed</guid><category><![CDATA[Fun Facts]]></category><pubDate>Thu, 27 Aug 2026 19:41:51 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/699a79_09ebbf2e96524b9ea15ec8fdf570de3e~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_604,h_553,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>authordeniece</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What Did a Worker Earn in 1915?]]></title><description><![CDATA[The best broad figure is about $11.22 per week for a manufacturing / factory worker production worker in 1915.
