Henry Anderson, a butcher at the New Sanitary Market at 124 North Broadway, changed a price tag on round steak from 85 cents a pound to 75 cents on Feb. 13, 1948. The drop in beef prices was attributed to a break in the grain and commodity markets. Today, that 75 cents would have the same buying power as $7.50.
