Creating consumers: home economists in twentieth-century America

Abstract

title, however, the book is not grounded in the history of small towns, their change over time, or their economic and social struggle to survive.Nor is it intended to be.Geographically focused on the region around the author's home near Philadelphia and in other coastal regions both east and west, the book is useful to understanding midwestern Main Streets only in a general and somewhat esoteric way.Readers may pick up this book because of its title and tinted picture postcard dustjacket, but those wanting more grounding in real Main Streets and real small towns will set it down
