Now to this fine item: I find this really interesting, and I live in Australia! There are LOTS of facts here, but just a couple of examples: In 1891 / 1892 in Maine, a Farm Labourer earned $24.50 per month, or, if including his board, $17.00 per month on a yearly contract. In North Carolina, the rates are $13.30 and $8.78 respectively. State-by-State, year-by-year, whether full-time, seasonal or as needed, these many pages of wage scales and associated paragraphs of information are particularly interesting. AND, if you happen to collect old coins, be it occasionally or seriously, you may look at each and appreciate the actual value of each, to each past owner. Imagine the lives of the workers, the people to whom this money was paid . . . . A very rare and special find, this book. Please see pictures for further details. I have literally Thousands of other books listed. Combined postage welcome, to your advantage; you may care to await amended invoice if so, else we will promptly refund your overpayment. [Unless this purchase is a fragile item] . . . . . please do not request home pickup, as refusal may offend. Our postage costs are ‘Stamps + $2.00 for quality packaging’ this is likely to be cheaper than petrol, in most cases! BUYERS PLEASE NOTE, also, that it is expected that PAYMENT is made within FIVE DAYS unless an arrangement has been made with us prior to purchase. If NO CONTACT has been made in this time, in fairness to other Ebay users, Ebay will be notified that you have defaulted. Please DO NOT purchase if you cannot meet these fair and simple requirements. Should an unforseen difficulty arise, then PLEASE LET US KNOW. We are very understanding. But, of course, we are not mind, readers. Thank you for your interest. Powered by eBay Turbo Lister Residents of CANADA only.(NOT applicable to buyers from other countries)With regret, postage quoted for Canadian buyers on your initial invoice will NOT be correct. There is an additional $Au8.00 surcharge for REGISTERED DELIVERY.Please AWAIT UPDATED INVOICE before making payment. This decision by us follows several poor experiences in deliveries, both to and from your country. Deliveries frequently take 6 weeks (7-10 days elsewhere), and even 3 months. While most buyers are honest and have repaid refunds, acknowledging both delivery and date posted, a few folk seem to forget.So, apart from hassles and correspondence back-and-forth, we not only lose the product, but also pay the postage and Ebay & Paypal commissions for the privilege.
