Ever wondered what life was like back in the 1940s? If your mother or grandmother was a housewife in the 1940s and you are curious about how they lived, pick up a copy of “101 Things For The Housewife To Do – 1949”
First printed in 1949, this book was part of the much loved series “101 Things” which began in the 1920s.
Complete with black and white photographs and diagrams, this book is packed with interesting information.
Things we take for granted were just being introduced, including the vacuum cleaner and the electric washing machine.
There is even a section on refrigerators – the two types being gas or electric motor; and they have included a photo of an old Electrolux gas refrigerator which is miniature compared to today’s standards.
A fabulous little book that will make you appreciate electricity and other modern inventions!
