The Revenoor, a most astute gentleman from out west, sent this one
on life back in 1910...

The year is 1910 one hundred and 4 years ago.
What a difference a century makes!

Here are some statistics for the Year 1910:

- The average life expectancy for men was 47 years.

- Fuel for this car was sold in drug stores only.

- Only 14 percent of the homes had a bathtub.

- Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.

- There were only 8,000 cars and only 144 miles of paved roads.

- The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph.

- The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower !

- The average US wage in 1910 was 22 cents per hour.

- The average US worker made between $200 and $400 per year.

- A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year, a dentist
$2,500 per year, a veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year, and
a mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year.

- More than 95 percent of all births took place at HOME.

- Ninety percent of all Doctors had NO COLLEGE EDUCATION!
Instead, they attended so-called medical schools, many of which were
condemned in the press AND the government as substandard.

- 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 or
egg yolks for shampoo.

- Canada passed a law that prohibited poor people from entering into their
country for any reason.

- The Five leading causes of death were:
1. Pneumonia and influenza
2. Tuberculosis
3. Diarrhea
4. Heart disease
5. Stroke

- The American flag had 45 stars.

- The population of Las Vegas, Nevada , was only 30!

- Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and iced tea hadn't been invented yet.

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

- Two out of every 10 adults couldn't read or write and 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.

- Back then 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.

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

- There were about 230 reported murders in the ENTIRE USA!

I am now going to forward this to someone else without typing it myself.
From there, it will be sent to others all over the WORLD -- all in a matter of seconds!

Try to imagine what it may be like in another 100 years. None of us will ever know!

IN GOD WE TRUST!
