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 housekeeper, 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.
