Grocery shopping, 150 years ago. I can only imagine what wonderful sounds that old cash register made when used (see last pic).

My son and I visited this old mining town recently. Founded in 1863, it was the capital of the Territory of Montana for 10 years. During that time, miners extracted over $90M ($40B in today’s dollars) of gold in the area, and the city housed about 10,000 people. Now its population is down to 132.
