And, this is related to "Food & Drink"? How?

Jeez, I wasn't even born then!

Didn't know we had 99 + year olds to answer this question, though.

In the summer of 1907, the American economy was showing signs of weakness as a number of business and Wall Street brokerages went bankrupt. In October, the respected Knickerbocker Trust in New York City and the ¹Westinghouse Electric Company both failed, touching off a series of events known as the Panic of 1907.
In the wake of the initial business collapses, stock market prices plummeted and depositors made a massive run on the nation’s banks. The U.S. Treasury pumped millions of dollars into weak banks in the hope of saving them, but the string of collapsed institutions lengthened.

My grandparents were all alive during that time. None of them had a car in those days. Farms were plowed with horse and plow. My great grandfather around that time was the first farm to get a furnace. A lot of houses still did not have electricity depending upon where they were.

This was in the days before antibiotics, and many people still went to one-room school houses, especially if they lived in the country.

For does people who lived then, it was hard work and the family's life's were still in order. You respected still your elders.There was not so much crime on the roads and not so many robbers. People went to work and could make with the few penny's they earned a good living. No rat race, no computer. They still talked to there neighbours and were close to there friends.

If you're referring to food, women were just learning how to cook something other than gruel. They also started going to cooking schools and working outside the home and began entertaining.
