DO YOU REMEMBER
AWAY BACK WHEN

(F'rom Daily Reflector Mar. 20, 1881,
The motor cars were equippet
with canvas tops which could b,
put down.
The pavement OF the down towr
streets were filed with great holes
which 1t took an artist to dodge.
The roads instead of being paved
were, except on one road east OF
town, all dirt and were seas of mud
after every rain.
When Third street was spanDed
by a rickety old iron bridge with a
tump-off at the west end instead Of
by a wide concrete boulevard bridge.
The city park was fair grounds
and the big lake and ornamental
bridge and fewer plats had not been
heard of.
The site Of the big KanOradO
hotel was occupied by half empty
brick building and number Of
frame buildings.
There was no trolley line In the
county. Now there are four lines
crossing Dickinson.
Abilene had three depOts instead
Of a union station.
Abilene had only one picture show.
The Reflector had only four pages
instead Of "a and had no Sunday
edition.
There were many farm houses
that did not have electric lights and
current for operation Of machinery,
now all have them.
The Country club had only $50
members instead Of 500.
Airplanes were seen only occa-
sionally and air service to Kansas
city in three hours every day was
, dream.
The Commercial club met in the
,ld Kirby house instead Of In the
handsome community club house at
Third and Mulberry.
The city was governed by city
instead of by a city
manager and board Of advisors.
The city high school had only 45O
,upils instead of 1900.
Folks had given up the idea OF
hiding oil in the county and the
efineries had not been built.
Motor cars were driven only 20
O 30 miles an hour, now they go 60
md over or are considered poor
tuff.
The sidewalks were used to adver-
ise meetings, ball games and enter
being painted with an
,oun eements of all kinds.
