July 29, 200718 yr A co worker and I have a friendly Sox fan-Cub fan rivalry going on at work. I'm trying to compile a list of what things were like in 1908. For example, a gallon of milk cost this much, this had not been invented yet, these laws had not been passed yet, etc. Can I find such a list?
