That Was No Hand Towel

This was a cute story by Dorothy Paterick from Shawano Wisconsin. Mrs. Paterick talked about a day when a Maytag salesman came by to sell a washing machine to her parents. While demonstrating the merits of the machine he washed the sheets. When the salesman was done he reached down and grabbed what appeared to be a towel. It was Mrs. Paterick’s mother’s bloomers.  We Had Everything But Money was a wonderful book. It is a collection of wonderful stories from people who lived through the worst ever economic crash this country had seen. I would recommend it to anyone… And yes, I found another book about survival during this period I plan on getting called  The Great Depression: A Diary by Benjamine Roth We Had Everything But Money: Priceless Memories of the Great Depression https://www.amazon.com/Had-Everything-But-Money-Depression/dp/0517123932/ref=sr_1_2?crid=30KCH25V38MNR&keywords=we+had+everything+but+money+book&qid=1582037407&sprefix=we+had+ever%2Ca...
