October 1, 1908
On October 1, 1908, an advertisement appeared in newspapers around the country. That advertisement, although not front page news at the time, changed the world of transportation in the United States. That advertisement announced the sale of the first Model T Ford -- the first car meant to be affordable for everyone. What else was being reported around the country on the same day?
