LosMediasBlancas Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 A co worker and I have a friendly Sox fan-Cub fan rivalry going on at work. I'm trying to compile a list of what things were like in 1908. For example, a gallon of milk cost this much, this had not been invented yet, these laws had not been passed yet, etc. Can I find such a list?

LosMediasBlancas Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 How about "1908 was so long ago that no matter where I researched, the same five lousy facts came up" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
