I found an old coffee can filled with old recipes that my great-grandmother used from the 1920's through the 1970's. While I have yet to actually try any, I hope to this coming summer, as there are a LOT of recipes for preserves. Some of these recipes are handwritten, and many are torn from newspapers and magazines. Please enjoy, and let me know if you try any!

Homemade Floor Wax

A good wax for varnished or oiled floors can easily and cheaply be made at home. Melt one cake of paraffin wax in a pan. A pound coffee can may be used. When the wax is melted take it from the stove and add 1 pint kerosene or gasoline. Spread on floors very thing and when the wax is dry, polish them.
