what caught my attention were the ads.

specifically, the hanes ad.. and i wonder why the hanes brand is still around whereas the motor heater brand is not.

and hotel rooms were $3 per night back then.

$3 in 1929 = $55.18 in 2024

sure, thats on the lowend for a hotel these days, but i doubt that hotel knickerbocker was giving their best rooms for $3.
