Excerpt from 1000 Shorter Ways Around the HouseThe book is classified and indexed as carefully as possible to make it easy to refer to a subject. The building hints are all practical, many of them being incorporated in our own home.General housework and cooking are such hard labor that anyone who knows of a way to lighten them should, it seems to me, pass the word along to someone else, and it is earnestly hoped that there will be something in these suggestions that will benefit everyone who reads them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
