Review:
Most of the items pictured in this colorful book could be purchased at your local dime store. For the homemakers of the period, this was discount shopping at its best. Each of the three decades had its special look.You'll find as big a mix of items in this book as you were apt to find at the old dime store.If you were a homemaker during that period, it will bring back lots of memories. If you're younger, you probably still saw many of these things at the homes of grandparents or elderly friends
