It was formed to recognize the social and economic achievements of American workers. The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated in September 1882 in New York City. The holiday spread to other industrial centers over the next few years, and in June 1894 Congress passed an act recognizing Labor Day as a legal holiday.

Finally I get to do a :cheer: :haha:

Roman orators wore soft lengths of cloth around the neck to keep their vocal chords warm and enhance their public speaking. In more recent times, King Louis XIV of France, leader of fashion, adopted the practice from a contingent of heroic Croatian soldiers he met. In fact, the name Louis used for this item, cravat, is derived from the French word for "Croatian".
