Horse power


We’re all bemoaning the price of gasoline these days, but that obviously wasn’t a problem for this lucky couple.
Of course, maybe hay was expensive back then, we’re not sure.
In any event, Ellis Kriebel of Harleysville has shared with us today this photo taken back in the day when you only had to worry about one horsepower.
“Were they going to church or just out for a joyride?” Kriebel muses on his submission.
The photo shows Abraham S. Kriebel and Estella May Yost, who were married on Nov. 2, 1904, Kriebel noted.
And even it they were just on a “joyride,” there were no worries about searching for the lowest-priced gasoline.
