Notes
- - The folder, originally titled "Housekeepers' Alliance 1924," contains a mix of letters, association program and meeting announcements, reports, advertisements, and magazine articles that afford a glimpse into the daily life of a consumer-homemaker-activist in a large metropolitan area during the first half of the 1920s. Mrs. Wiley's membership in the Housekeepers' Alliance is pivotal. A twelve-page "Report of the Chief of the Bureau of Home Economics, U.S. Department of Agriculture," for 1926 speaks of the bureau's dissemination of information about the home and homemaker both to consumers in every state and to producers. Topics include studies of food, nutrition, textiles, and clothing, especially for farm families; the standardization of packaging; the bread industry; the threat of botulism and the proper preservation of foods in factory and home; and training and practice for "negro women engaged in domestic and personal service occupations." Organizations mentioned in these documents include the Research Laboratory of the National Canners Association; the Standardization Committee, American Speciality Manufacturers' Association; the Division of Simplified Practice of the U.S. Department of Commerce; the Domestic Efficiency Association, organized in Baltimore in 1920; and the National Association of Wage Earners, headed by President Nannie H. Burroughs and Vice President Mary McLeod Bethune. A March 15, 1924, issue of Baking Technology, a "journal of applied science in baking," contains articles about providing consumers with better-flavored and more scientifically nutritious bread, more sanitary bakery conditions, and better service. Selections reproduced as facsimile page images: 90 of 225 pages. Selection includes photograph(s).
