1921

Vance Clark writes, "Recently friends of mine gave me a book, This Incredible Century, by Norman Vincent Peale, which I found enjoyable because Dr. Peale was born in 1898, and he relates things we, too, experienced, decade by decade. These go from coal oil lamps to outhouses to Ford Model T's and the SATC in World War One time, on and on to the present. It made me think that others in 1921 would greatly enjoy this book, too."
