Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a late nineteenth-century listing of teas, groceries, homewares, and other goods available by mail order from Canada. With colorful language and folksy turns of phrase, the author provides not only a catalogue of products but also insights into the daily life and domestic economy of the period, from the types of goods available to their prices and methods of acquiring them. The author includes tips on how to use and store products, alongside some rather bold claims for their quality and efficacy. From the type of starch best suited to making cottage pudding to the virtues of a particular soap, the author is keen to convince the reader of the superiority of their products. At times the language is evocative, even lyrical, as when the author describes the flavors and aromas of different teas. This is a fascinating glimpse into the material culture of the late Victorian period. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
