Product Information

First published in 1910s, this widely-read classic book "has put together a collection of precepts and advice on the setting up and management of a home. It has been the purpose to bring together from many reliable sources the guiding rules to be followed in making the home a place where the family can live a thrifty and joyous life". It was compiled by two female professors in Home Economics, who truly understood the subject and the situation.

With massive 31 chapters and almost 700 pages, The Ultimate Manual of Homemaking is a definitive guide to homemaking/housekeeping/household-management: from how to plan daily meals, make clothing, clean houses, to how to decorate and furnish home, and so on.

You will be amazed to see how many of the early traditions are still being followed today.
