Carl’s Quiz 11-11

Posted

On Nov. 10, 1903, Mary Anderson patented what helpful device for early automobiles?

The answer to last week’s quiz is: Pantyhose were invented in 1959, but sales really took off once improvements made them more elastic and available in more sizes, colors, and textures - not to mention the advent of the miniskirt in 1965, which helped make them even more popular. By 1969, sales had jumped to 624 million pair, compared to 200 million the year before. (Old Farmers Almanac)
