I also remember my shoes mildewing in the closet in those days, so it wasn't 
much cooler or drier.  I don't miss not having AC.

Mom remembers the summer of 1936 when the temp got up to 107F.  I think they 
may have had an electric fan.  Only thing air conditioned was the new theater 
in town. with a large steam powered vacuum unit -- must have been pure hell 
working the boiler in there!

Salt pills were new then, and probably helped when you were dripping sweat all 
day.
