Hi List, Thought you might enjoy reading this. Carla Miles The Butler Herald Thursday, October 11, 1917 Page Six Only Twenty Years Ago Ladies wore bustles. Operations were rare. Nobody swatted the fly. Nobody had seen a silo. Nobody had appendicitis. Nobody wore white shoes. Nobody sprayed orchards. Cream was five cents a pint. Most young men had "livery bills." Cantaloupes were mushmelons. You never heard of a "tin lizzie." Doctors wanted to see your tongue. Milk-shake was a favorite drink. Advertisers did not tell the truth. Nobody cared for the price of gasoline. Farmers came to town for their mail. The hired girl drew one-fifty a week. The butcher "threw in" a chunk of liver. Folks said pneumatic tires were a joke. Nobody listened on the telephone. There were no sane Fourth nor electric motors. Strawstacks were burned instead of baled. Publishing a county paper was not a business. People thought English sparrows were "birds." Jules Verne was the only convert to the submarine. You stuck tubes in your ears to hear the phonograph and it cost a dime. Lakeland, Fla. Telegram
