Every month in 2020, we’ll be brining you a Klein Timeline Snapshot: a look back in time at a specific year, looking at what the world was like in said year, and what was happening with Klein Tools.

This month’s year: 1933

-Women’s cotton blouse: $0.39
-California oranges: $0.21 per dozen

What was happening in the world: December of 1933 was a big month for the United States, as the Congress passed the 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, repealing the 18th Amendment and ending Prohibition. Congress ratified the 18th Amendment in 1919, which established the prohibition of alcohol in the United States, meaning that there was a nationwide ban on producing, importing, transporting and selling alcohol. This was the product of a decades-long push by the temperance movement, which tried to convince Americans that banning alcohol would help resolve poverty and other issues plaguing society. This ban lasted all the way until the end of 1933, when the 21st Amendment was passed. The 18th Amendment is the only amendment in history to be repealed.

While it may seem like summer flew by, as of this week we are officially into fall, and before we have a chance to blink, winter will be here. Rather than be caught unprepared, it’s important to take steps now to ensure once winter does come, your home heating will be up to par and able to keep you and your family safe and warm throughout the season. Given that we all will likely be home more this winter and our heating systems will be working harder than ever, this process is especially important this year. Today, September 25, is National Tune Up Day, a holiday created to remind homeowners all over the country to tune up their heating systems in advance of seasonal weather changes. While tuning up your heating systems may seem similar to the tune up you did before summer for your cooling systems, it is still just as, if not more important to take the steps now to keep your home systems operating at 100 percent.
