1906
If for no other reason than to stop creepy Hugo from staring at me every time I check in on H8... Some random factoids from an email I'm sure everyone received from their aunt.
In 1906:
The average life expectancy in the U.S. was 47 years.
Only 14 percent of the homes in the U.S. had a bathtub.
Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.
A three-minute call from Denver to New York City cost eleven dollars.
