0 comments

In 1895, our Studebaker buggy was brand spanking new... here's a few more things that were interesting in 1895. * Studebaker was the largest producer of horse drawn vehicles in the country. * Grover Cleveland was President. * Mintonette, later known as vollyball, is created by William G Morgan in Massachusetts * .The first professional American football game is played, in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, between the Latrobe YMCA and the Jeannette Athletic Club (Latrobe wins 12–0).. * Babe Ruth, Buster Keaton, Gracie Allen and Jack Dempsey were born. * Frederick Douglas died. * It would still be 25 years before women had the right to vote. * There were 44 states in our country. * $400 to $500 a year was considered good wages for many men. * You could order a buggy out of a catalog for about thirty bucks. * Bacon was 13 cents a pound and eggs were 20 cents a dozen. * A tailored 3 piece mans suit could be bought for $3.95. Wow, things have changed over the years. Wonder what they will be saying in 2095?
