He had been transferred from a small town to Jackson, Wyoming where an efficiency apartment was $1,000.00 a month; his salary was $1,100.00 a month.
When one of the fellows admitted he couldn't cover his hand in the poker game, the Sheriff, who was also in the game, made him sign over his house. But even with that he couldn't afford to live there.
After selling the house for $45,000.00, he moved to a cheaper town, married and moved to Greybull. Now retired, he was filling in for his wife the day I came in. His story was much more interesting told first-hand, but I thought it might provide fair-warning for someone considering a move.
