Excerpt from History of the Oranges to 1921, Reviewing the Rise, Development and Progress of an Influential Community, Vol. 3 Orange in 1920 has a population of all comfortably housed and enjoying blessings not dreamed of by the forebears of the pioneer period. So rapid have the various inventions and improvements come to us, lessening the tedium of the daily routine of home and business, that they have been appropriated as a matter of course. Sanitation has made wonderful changes in the general health of the city. Freedom from dis eases formerly appearing with seasonal regularity, such as chills and fever (malaria), typhus fever, small pox, etc., is one of the greatest blessings of the era. Evenly heated homes and office buildings in the winter months, now the rule, was a few generations ago a very rare exception. Truly we have come into the enjoyment of multitudinous blessings. We have been accustomed to the rapidly moving trolley car, the speeding automobile, the railroad train gliding along under its superb equipment, the handy telephone and various other devices evolved for our convenience. It is a goodly heritage and we are not insensible of the toil of the years which has brought it to us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
