My mom was in ths hospital for 7 days

[Kingbee]

back in 1943.  This bill must have been a terrible burden on the entire family.....

With a little help from Google I found this:

How Much things cost in 1943
Average Cost of new house $3,600.00
Average wages per year $2,000.00
Cost of a gallon of Gas 15 cents
Average Cost for house rent $40.00 per month
Bottle Coca Cola 5 cents
Average Price for a new car $900.00

I'd say that the hospital bill did set them back a bit.
