Saving Money for the Fair and Domestic Arrangements
A village girl cultivates one acre of her father’s land, yields 200 bushels of sweet potatoes at 31 per bushel with under $10 in expenses, and plans to save for Chicago. A couple uses wage savings from meals and a mislaid cook to fund a trip to the exposition. A wife supervises a dairy farm, earns monthly receipts, and builds a Chicago-bound bank balance. A dancing school run by a mother and daughter funds the exposition. The second piece explains craps via a father and son dialogue with comic miseducation.
