"The sky is the limit" (1909)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   I saw the movie SEABISCUIT (2003) on the flight home.  There were several
anachronisms.  "Tex-Mex" appears on a background billboard at Tijuana in the
early 1930s.  Also, "Hope and Crosby" is mentioned in the 1930s, before their
first road picture together (ROAD TO SINGAPORE, 1940).  I sent that one to
www.moviemistakes.com.
   One character uses the word "shit" frequently in the 1930s.
   "The sky is the limit" was used.  OED has that from 1920.  I'm using
www.newspaperarchive.com on my computer at home.  Why is "Welcome Addams County
Historical Society" on the right part of my home screen?
