Today we have a follow - up toMonday ’s postabout Arthur Palm , the 14 - class - old from Milwaukee , Wisconsin who in 1901 made predictions about what the world of 2001 might attend like .
The editor of the bookYesterday ’s Future : The Twentieth Century Begins ( Voices of the Wisconsin Past )
suggest that Arthur Palm ’s clause in his school newsprint was taking many ideas about the future from the image above , which was printed inCollier ’s Weeklyon January 12 , 1901 .
This seems quite probably given the specific mention of a sign interpretation , “ Old People restore to Youth by Electricity , While You Wait . ” In the upper left nook we can see a sign in the Collier ’s representative reading , “ Youth restore by Electricity While You Wait . ” Palm also mentioned a “ Manhattan Air Line ” which is seeable on a sign in the Collier ’s example as well .
