This Date in History, May the 20th...



1874 Levi Strauss marketed blue jeans with copper rivets, price $13.50 doz. What did people do for tight-ass jeans before then?




1926 Thomas Edison said Americans prefer silent movies over talkies. Now I know how the CON Edison company got its name.

Before denim jeans, Strauss tried selling trousers made from canvas tents.
