Thank you. BillK
Interesting question. I went to the internet and found several pages that compute the answer but none of them went back farther than 1913. I think they all use Consumer Price Index to compute the answer and I'll bet the CPI records only go back to 1913.

Anyway, In these web pages it seems that $1 in 1913 equates to $23.95 in 2015. That is much more than I expected! But maybe?

Here is a link that explains how they compute this:

Click on the "CPI calculator" link on that page to find the tool to calculate for other years if you want to play.
