A little known fact.

Prior to 1903, Social Security numbers were only six digits, instead of the current nine, due to the far smaller population and being assigned only to male land-owners.

---I had no idea that SS numbers were only once assigned to males and those being land owners. I couldnt imagine not having a SS number. Actually, I overheard someone at the dr. the other day say that they didnt have one and I thought to myself, thats nuts!---

I didn't think they had SSN's before the 1930's.
