Cooperative housekeeping boosts family savings in Iowa suburb

In Morningside near Sioux City twenty one residents formed the Parkside Co operative Housekeeping Association in December. They average 2.35 dollars weekly per member and save 81 cents weekly each, or about 178.18 dollars yearly for a family of four. Meals are taken at two large tables in a shared building with five women as a committee plus a rotating buyer. The plan reduces servant costs by pooling purchases and sharing cook and assistants, with wholesale food savings estimated at 15 percent and fuel costs similar to a single family. The venture inspires new groups in Marion Indiana and more in Morningside, with neighbors noting social benefits and better meal habits.
