Flashback Thursday; Life In America - The 1920s

From Etsy shop  at https://www.etsy.com/listing/95713390
Family life in the Roaring Twenties changed dramatically.  It was the first time in history that modern technology made it easy for a middle class family to purchase luxury items such as radios and electric refrigerators.  Clothing became an item that was mass produced, lowering the cost, so now the average house wife could purchase stylish clothing and dress their children in the latest trend.

Cars became more affordable so that this became a part of the average families lifestyle by the end of the 1920s.

The Economy was good, we became a modern, booming, society that was ready to travel and party. It was one of the high points of our country's history.

Flashback Thursday; Life In America - The 1920s

I love the Roaring Twenties! Traditional people in the 1920s must have had similar emotions about societal changes then as the traditional minded do today.  Huge social changes were happening at such a rapid rate that it may have seem to some that the world had gone mad.

The 1920s have so many interesting segments that it would be just about impossible to cover all the wonderful memories and aspects of that era in one post so I think we will travel back and "sit a spell."

In the 1920s American toy makers had competition from cheaper treasures coming from Japan and Germany.  There was also a movement from the handcrafted toys of the previous eras to mass produced items that were readily available to the masses. For the first time most children could afford to have a toy if not many. Companies like the Knickerbocker Toy Company and Crayola joined our lives and others were introducing to us the Yo-Yo.  How could I not love the 1920s the dawn of many favorites and contributors to my fondest memories.
