No diary entry today, so we'll continue with Aunt Marjorie's memories of the 1930's.
Regarding Grandma selling irons... "they (the irons) were so heavy, she switched to selling a book called "Volume Library" door to door. That made her feet hurt so badly!"
I assume Grandma sold the irons door to door, too. Times have sure changed. Does anyone try to sell anything (other than religion) door to door?

Back then I think there were more door-to-door salesmen, selling all kinds of stuff. Don't forget the milk man, the ice man & the bread man. Plus farmers who drove around with their fruits & vegetables, the Watson man with his spices, & the Fuller brush man, & many others. Today hardly anyone trys to sell door-to-door besides the girl scouts & their cookies, and other fund raisers
