Trivia of the Week (answer)…

This week’s trivia question asked… How much would a 3-piece set of monogrammed towels set you back in the Pasadena of 1955?

The answer is $3.40.  The question was found using the Access Newspaper Archives. This database contains millions of searchable historic newspaper pages. I browsed into the Pasadena collection and took a look at the 10/2/1955 edition of the Pasadena Independent.
