     THE YEAR IS 1915

    This will boggle your mind!

    The year is 1915 – One hundred years ago.
     
    What a difference a century makes!
     
    Here are some statistics for the Year 1915:
     
    The average life expectancy for men was 47 years. 

    Fuel for cars was sold in drug stores only.     

    Only 14 percent of the homes had a bathtub.
     
    Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.
     
    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 neither a Mother's Day nor a 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 local corner drugstores.
     
    Back then pharmacists said, "Heroin clears the 
    complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the
    stomach, bowels, and is, in fact, 
    a perfect guardian of health!"  (Shocking?)
     
    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. !
     
    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!     
     
    It is impossible to imagine what
     it may be like in 
    another 100 years.
