1853 First fire engine (horse-drawn) in US enters service [Those horses must have ran out fast and quick]
1905- 9 hour work day for diamond miners [nice if they got a diamond for each holiday on the calendar...at least a few when retiring]
1913 Post office begins parcel post deliveries
1928 1st US air-conditioned office building opens, San Antonio [What a cool place to work!]
