On This Day | It’s Always Been This Way

Do you remember when the double shovel was not as good as the single shovel? When the steel plow was not as good as the crooked stick because the steel poisoned the soil? Remember when we did not think a cook stove would ever be a success? When the man who used a riding plow was lazy? When railroads would ruin the country? When self binders would ruin the laboring man? When bicycle and horseless street cars would make horses cheap? When you “wouldn’t have a telephone in your house for $100?” and how some folks would not allow you to set telephones past his place? How some objected to rural free delivery? And how some few are frightened about parcel post? Cuss the automobile? Good roads? And the better farming export?
