"Most women only washed their hair once a month, and used borax or egg yolks for shampoo.

De-licing must have been a booming business back then.:)

The average wage in the US was 22 cents an hour. The average US worker made between $200 and $400 per year.

$0.22 x 2080hrs/year = $457.60

My grandmother turned 9,in 1904 and from "family stories",I can tell you that women in my family,not only washed their hair ore than once a month,but they used soap to wash it.

Not only did my great grandparents have a bathtub in their apartment,they had a working flush toilet...this was VERY rare at that time;even in Manhattan.

There were only about 230 reported murders in the entire US.

All the other stats are interesting, but this one, if true, is disturbing.

I doubt if it is accurate.
