Her pushing the button herself isn't going to summon the elevator any faster than you pushing it.<BR/><BR/>Good for you for speaking up.

You have hit on a great project and I have sent your URL to several friends.

About the cleaning products Martha Stewarts new book called Homekeeping Handbood (gotta love the title)references repeatedly a book called Mrs. Beetons book of Household Managment orginaly published in 1861 the book Stewart references mentions 1961 as on of the edition dates, however there may have been a pre 1950's edition. I also have a friend who majored in Child and Family studies who is very interested in this project from a family and consumer sciences standpoint. For research you might try going to college campus and checking on the Human Ecology /consumer science libaries and see what lurks there. 2 other titles, I found in Stewarts book were an Encyclopedia of Domestic Economy and The Concise Household Encyclopedia. Check out a cleaner called Mrs. Meyer's I don't know the era, but it sounds retro. Did you find out how long Murphy's oil soap has been around? I love that stuff.I love cleaning supplies in general all that potential. I love them more then I use them sadly. Oh the The Vermont Country Catalogue has a ton of retro items that seems to recall 194-1960's era products. Loving your posts/ projects!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
