You Wont Believe the Reason Behind These Bricks!

Photo - Kansas Historical Society

Yes, this brick is real. The "Don't spit on the sidewalk" brick has a unique history from the early 1900's. Back when diseases like tuberculosis were running rampant, Dr. Samuel Crumbine, a public health figure, tried to combat the spread of communicable diseases. He fought against common things such as the public drinking cup, where people shared the same cup without washing it. Most famously, he spoke out against spitting on the sidewalk. His campaign against the spread of diseases included having bricks printed with the message as a friendly reminder.
