I figure $20 here and there will add up over time and I will be able to buy myself a Ruth xmas present!
I really like the looks of the checks as well, seems cool to have something from the Babes bank account, the one I have was made out to his wife for 1000 bucks on a Saturday in 1940...thats 17500 bucks in todays money accounting for inflation. I can only wonder what trouble he got into the night before that warrented scratching a check off to his wife the next day for 17500 bucks hey happens to the best of us doesnt it?
