Commentary:
In 1951, the Christian Mission at Glasgow Christian Church in
Glasgow, Illinois sponsored the printing of a spiral-bound booklet featuring 1001
helpful household hints. “Your Household
Guide” might have been a fundraiser for this group of ladies that included my
grandma, great-grandma, great-great aunts and women that were not related but
that my dad had grown up recognizing as aunts.
Glasgow is a very small town in a very small county in west
central Illinois.
