Who Knew: 1913

In 1913, there were 14.020 shoe stores, no TVs

The first 1040, because of the 16th Amendment originally taxed at 1% for just the people earning more than $3,000 a year.  Average salary then was $800.

There were also 1600 registered fortune tellers, hypnotists and spiritualists.

38 million workers in the work force.  (141 million today)1,053 umbrella vendors  and 1593 lighthouse keepers  (Today there is just one manned lighthouse, Boston.)
