These images are photographs used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 1st edition, 1981, depicting the history of the city and the University. From page 170-171: Military veterans at API, unwilling to pay local food prices, formed a cooperative grocery store in 1946. Their wives saved an average of 30 percent on food bills shopping at the co-op, the Alumnews reported. Confirming what the veterans had thought about the town's prices, a nationwide survey found that Auburn had the second highest cost of living in the United States. Washington, D.C. was number one, the Plainsman reported. Photo source: Auburn Alumnews. |
