We never had a/c in the house in which we were raised. But there was a whole house fan in the second floor ceiling. which really helped. Still, I remember horribly hot days and nights. We'd freeze water in those half-gallon wax milk cartons and place them in front of the basement door, then turn on the big exhaust fan.
I grew up on southern California. All we had my entire childhood was a cheap fan. My dad would place it in the hallway, open all the back windows and face it towards the front room. Later, he splurged and got another fan for the front room. LOL.
