He remembered talking to his uncle when he was just a boy, the uncle told him ???Mark my words, son, one of these days you will be paying a dollar for a loaf of bread.??? He said he thought of that when a loaf of bread that day cost him $3.50.??? His uncle also said he would pay upwards of $100 for a good pair of shoes.??? Today you can???t buy a pair of tennis shoes for $100.
