What about the fact that eggs were just 38 cents per dozen and a Hershey chocolate bar only five cents? 1967 certainly had a cost of living that might make you want to invent the first time machine, although we must remember that the minimum wage was just $1.40 per hour and the average annual income was $7,300. Yes, it was an entirely different world. 1967 was a memorable year in the United States, in every area of culture and society.
