Read the following interview from a man named Harry Reece from 1938. Harry Reece grew up on a farm and is describing his first t

rip to the city of Chicago as a young boy. He was excited and amazed by what he saw.
Give two examples of Industrial Revolution advancements that Mr. Reece saw as improvements to life.

Respond in at least three to five complete sentences.

"I was born in the middle west. . . . We lived on a farm, and even telephones were curiosities to myself and the country boys of my age. Electric lights were something to marvel at . . . the old Edison phonograph with its wax cylinder records and earphones was positively ghostly . . . and trolley cars, well they too were past understanding!

"Speaking of trolley cars reminds me of a trip to the 'city' once when I was about a dozen years old. My father and a neighbor, Old Uncle Bill Brandon, had to go up to the Big Town, which was Chicago, on some sort of business . . . and I suppose I’d been extra diligent at doing chores, weeding potatoes, killing worms on the tomato plants, or something . . . and Father rewarded me by taking me along. . . .

"You can imagine what a time I had seeing things I’d never seen before, in fact had only dreamed about or heard about. Curiosity wasn’t the name for it. Speechless [incredulity] came nearer describing my emotions. . . . But when I saw my first trolley car slipping along Cottage Grove Avenue in Chicago. . . slipping along without horses or engine or apparent motive power . . . well it was just too darned much for me. I didn’t know what to think."
