MISS CORSON’S FAMILY LIVING ON $500 A YEAR.
Family Living on $500 a Year. A Daily Reference Book for Young and Inexperienced Housewives. By Juliet Corson. 16mo, Cloth, $1 25.
If we ever get as much as $500 a year we shall purchase this book and live like a prince.... It goes carefully through the expenses of daily living, and indicates the thousand and one ways in which a penny can be saved and another penny put where it will do most good. A book of this kind placed in the hands of those who have very limited means will show that they can live very comfortably and have quite enough to eat on a very small sum.—N. Y. Herald.
It is a helpful working book, sensible and practical, and tells how to buy, cook, and serve all sorts of food; how to can, pickle, and preserve; and how to arrange and serve luncheons, dinners, and teas, all in the most economical manner consistent with appetizing results.—Sunday-School Times, Philadelphia.
Food-economist, cook-book, and instructor in table service all in one.... The book is a capital one, and every housekeeper should feel grateful to the able and painstaking author.—N. Y. Post.
The production of a lady who understands her subject thoroughly, and who earnestly wishes to help others towards the same useful knowledge.... A book of this sort (and Miss Corson is the best able to produce it of any one we know) is a great aid, and the more it is circulated the more households will be made happy.—Churchman, N. Y.
Every house-keeper, whether coming within the scope of the author’s effort or not, will find many instructive hints, a due regard for which will be conducive to the improved physical well-being and increased mental serenity of the various members of her household.—St. Louis Republican.
