1003 Household Hints 48 - 57

More old and interesting housekeeping hints.  I especially like 49.  When out of shoe polish, a handy substitute is paste floor wax.  It's neutral color makes it fine for dark or light shoes.

The black object to the right of the book page is an English leather bookmark I picked up at a garage sale last weekend.  Since England is the only other country I have ever visited and I don't know if I will ever get back, I satisfy my travel lust by collecting bits and bobs.
