These magazines have been around a long time, this particular one was started in 1929. It´s the housewife´s companion, my mother and grandmother always had them. They still look pretty much the same as they did when I was little. Let´s leaf through it!
91-year old heroic tant saves her neighbours from dying in housefire. |
Heroic dog saves his owner from evil & dangerous snake. |
How to decorate and succed with house plants. |
Nice clothes (not typical tant style, though!) for healthy bodies. |
Thrilling novel. |
Crime of the week: First three murders - then oysters and champagne! |
Display of reader´s cute grandchildren. |
Recipies of sensible, traditional and affordable food (for those with small pensions). |
Crossword puzzles, to pass time and ward off the Alzheimer´s. |
And crochet patterns. Pretty lace brooches to give to the young hip tant generation. |
I love it! Some things just don't change. Haha. The scariest thing is how much time I spent when I was a kid leafing through these magazines although they were soooo boring for someone in the early teens. I guess that would not have happened if I would have had 100 channels on the TV or a computer and internet connection.
