I have a photo, circa 1920, of my dad and a co-worker at the Wonder
Market in New Bedford, MA. The store was smaller than the one featured
and there were fewer canned goods but things like apples and potatoes in
various barrels. The most interesting things is the shelf prices.
Most things (canned soup, bars of soap) were around $.05. Cereals were
~$.15 a package.

Interesting history lesson.
