The year is 1910.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

$2,000 per year,

a dentist $2,500 per year, a veterinarian between

$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 Physicians 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

1. Pneumonia and influenza

2. Tuberculosis

3. Diarrhea

4. Heart disease

5. Stroke

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.

Eighteen percent of households had at least

one full-time servant or domestic help.

There were about 230 reported murders in

the ENTIRE U.S.A. (but almost everyone

had a gun!)

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.

DON’T COMPLAIN ABOUT GROWING OLD…

FEW PEOPLE GET THE PRIVILEGE!
