Ford Model T
The Model T, sold by the Ford Motor Company from 1908 to 1927, was the earliest effort to make a car that most people could actually buy. Modern cars were first built in 1885 in Germany by Karl Benz, and the first American cars in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1893 by Charles and Frank Duryea

Thanks
Big thank you to everyone who read this little thought. We have come a long way since the 20s, but I fear we are just as lonely and divided as ever.

Re: Re Larder shelf
I think it's like the fruit cellar that my Grandma used to have. She would put all the jars of food that she had canned in there and it always smelled damp.

Re: women's vote
Churchill opposed votes for women before WW1, and he only changed his mind because someone pointed out that many women would vote for him.

Re Larder shelf
I think the Larder is meant in the sense of a Store Room. Starvation was by far the biggest killer. thanks for reading!

It was alright if one had money Slam, but many lived in poverty my Mother said she often felt along the larder shelves to see if there was anything edible that was when she was a girl.

I would love to time travel back to that era, if only for a day.
We could learn a lot from such an impressionable time in history. Excellent post.

Yes, I have.
And, history usually repeats itself, but in modernized forms.

This is an awesome post! I really enjoyed reading it. You really bring up some good points. I never lived through a World War and hope I never do. I do like the thought that something positive came from that time in history.
