THE YEAR 1906

This will boggle your mind, I know it did mine! The year is 1906.
One hundred years ago. What a difference a century makes!
Here are some of the U.S. statistics for the Year 1906:
************************************


The average life expectancy in the U.S. was 47 years old. sad.gif

Only 14 percent of the homes in the U.S. had a bathtub. tongue.gif

Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone. hh.gif

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

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

The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph.

Alabama, Mississippi, Iowa, and Tennessee were each more heavily populated than California.

With a mere 1.4 million people, California was only the 21st most populous state in the Union.

The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower!

The average wage in the U.S. was 22 Cents per hour.

The average U.S. worker made between $200 and $400 �per year . hh.gif

A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year, a dentist made $2,500 per year, a veterinarian $1,500 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! jamie.gif
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. jamie.gif

Five leading causes of death in the U.S. were:

1. Pneumonia and influenza

2. Tuberculosis
3. Diarrhea
4. Heart disease
5. Stroke

The American flag had 45 stars.
Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Hawaii, and Alaska hadn't been admitted to the Union yet.

The population of Las Vegas, Nevada, was only 30!!!! laugh.gif

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

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

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. Back then pharmacists
said, "Heroin clears the complexion, gi+++++ves buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach and bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health." ( Shocking? DUH! ) laugh.gif

There were about 230 reported Murders in the ENTIRE U.S.A. ! thumb_yello.gif


Now I sent it to you and others all over the United States, possibly the world, in a matter of just Seconds !!!!!!!!!

PASS THIS ALONG!!!!! Just Try to imagine..... what it may be like .... in another 100 years !!!!!!!

IT STAGGERS THE MIND !!!!!!!!!

Daca ai calcula la valoarea dolarului din 2007 (adica ai lua in calcul inflatia) nu te-ai cruci atata wink.gif

Din 1913 pana acum, dolarul s-a depreciat de 20 de ori. Deci ma pot astepta ca din 1907 pana acum ca dolarul sa se fi depreciat de 25-35 de ori.
Prin urmare, inginerul de atunci castiga ~150 000$/an la banii de acum. Care este un salariu foarte bun!!! Nu multi ingineri castiga atat de mult!
