Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a practical guide to housekeeping for low-income families living in tenements at the turn of the 20th century, with a focus on teaching the importance of cleanliness, sanitation, and economy.

Detailed diagrams for building inexpensive storage, first aid advice, and even recipes are included within this comprehensive volume. This book is not just a historical artifact, but a valuable and timeless guide to home economics that is as relevant today as it was a century ago, providing a fascinating glimpse into the history of domestic engineering while also offering practical advice that can still help families today to live cleaner, healthier, and happier lives.
