SUMMARY
This pamphlet publishes a collection of informal talks given by farm women at the Household Science Meeting held by the Illinois Farmers' Institute around 1930, relating women's successes in founding and maintaining farm-related businesses. The first speaker, a widow named Mrs. Morris, tells of running a family hotel at Pleasant Plains, Illinois, in terms that reflect personal pride and satisfaction in her independent efforts and economic achievements. The book continues with lively discussions, many of which stress the value of thrift in farm women's domestic management because not all of them can find ways of contributing to family income.
