Experience the journey through time with our 110 year old time machine. Let’s get in the Dixie Electric, Plumbing, and Air time machine for a quick trip back to 1908 , the year we opened for business. Maybe the first thing you want to do when you arrive is have a little snack. You could start with a Hershey candy bar for two cents. A trip to the grocery store will include buying eggs for 14 cents a dozen, and sugar for four cents a pound. Of course, the average wage is 22 cents an hour, which amounts to $572 a year if you worked 50 hours a week for all 52 weeks of the year.
If you stuck around for all of 1908, you would have witnessed some impressive firsts:
- The first Model T was produced (it sold for $825)
- The first passenger went airborne on a Wright Brothers airplane
- The first New Year’s ball drop in Times Square
The point we’re making is that Dixie Electric, Plumbing & Air has been here for all of it. First providing electrical, then plumbing, and eventually heating and air conditioning service for Montgomery, AL. Maybe we’re not on the historical level of the Model T, but our early history was pretty significant.
