112 Years Ago: A Simpler Time?

Here’s a peak at the World in 1904:

* The tallest structure in the world is the Eiffel Tower!

* The average wage is .22/hr. The average worker earns 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. 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. physicians had no college https://nygoodhealth.com/product/valium/ education. Instead, they attended medical schools, many of which were condemned in the press and by 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.

* And, about our neighbors to the north: Canada passed a law prohibiting poor people from entering the country for any reason.
