data sources for 1920's:

This source shows that raw GNP grew from
$69.6B in 1921 to $103.1B in 1929:

This source shows that prices actually declined
over this 8-year period by 4.5%:

Thus, the $103.1B GNP for 1929 is actually equal
to ($103.1B)/(0.955) = $108.0B in constant 1921 dollars.

This means real growth over the 8-year period
was (($108.0B)/($69.6B) - 1.0)*100.0 = 55.2%.
Over an 8-year period, this is a compound
average growth rate of 5.6%
