There were 3 types of engines in use. Electric, Steam, and Gas powered. The gas powered engines became the basis due to its price being cheap and being more reliable then steam or electric engines.

Some of the other idolized people of the time included Henry Ford, George "Babe" Ruth, Jack "The Manassa Mauler" Dempsey, and Johnny Weismuller.  People are now able to idolize people because they now have leisure time.]]> 2017-02-15 21:31:13 UTC https://padlet.com/400011658/bl7arh81xm7k/wish/154174177 400011658 https://padlet.com/400011658/bl7arh81xm7k/wish/154175615 There is one thing that both men and women's fashion in the 1920's have in common: the essence of capturing youth.

In essence, the American people were all buying the same thing. People ate corn flakes in the morning, people went to work in their Ford Model T, people bought and sat around the same radio, and they all saw the same movies at the theater.
