************************************

A three-minute call from Denver
to New York City
cost eleven dollars.

There were only 8,000 cars in the U.S. ,
and only 144 miles
of paved roads.

The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph.

and $4,000 per year,
and a mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year.

More than 95 percent of all births in the U.S. took place at HOME.

Ninety percent of all U.S. doctors
had
NO COLLEGE EDUCATION !
Instead,
they attended so-called medical schools,
many of which were condemned in the press
AND
the government
as "sub-standard."

Sugar cost four cents a pound.

Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen.

Coffee was fifteen cents a pound.

Most women only washed their hair
once a month,
and used borax

hadn't been invented yet.

There was no Mother's Day
or Father's Day.

Two out of every 10 U.S. adults couldn't read or write.

Only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated from high school.

Marijuana, heroin, and morphine
were all available over
the counter
at the local corner drugstores.
Pharmacists said,
"Heroin clears the complexion, > gives buoyancy to the mind,
regulates the stomach and bowels,
and is, in fact,
a perfect guardian of health."
( Shocking ? )

Eighteen percent of households in the U.S.
had at least one full-time servant or domestic help.
