-------------
THE home managers have in
their hands the most important business of the nation.
American women realize that to their duties as home
makers, mothers, and guiding influences, is added an
important economic responsibility. The manner in which
the purchasing power of twenty million home managers is
used has an inestimable effect upon the production,
collection, and distribution of all products in the
market.
This
second edition of “The Business of Being a Housewife” is
respectfully dedicated to the thousands of wise home
managers who are determined to understand more fully
their relation to the producers of the country and to
the great industries, such as that of Armour and
Company, who have made possible the providing of perfect
food in perfect condition at any distance from the farm. |
