One of the most admirable family journals ever published is that which is brought out in Holyoke, Mass. and New York under the title of GOOD HOUSEKEEPING, by Clark W. Bryan & Co. It is a practical and interesting instructor in all pleasant, refined and healthful modes of living. It is full of good sense, and its lessons, whether in manners, morals, food, needlework and household management, are generally the best of their kind. The number of May 15 opens GOOD HOUSEKEEPING’S second year—a year which it is to be hoped will add to its already established prosperity.—_New York Daily Tribune, May 11th, 1886._ =READ WHAT THE GOSPEL BANNER (Augusta, Me.) SAYS ABOUT GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.= GOOD HOUSEKEEPING is a fortnightly magazine conducted in the interest of every department of household management. It has rapidly advanced in public favor in its first year, which is due to the excellent articles from its special contributors and the superior mechanical work represented in its successive numbers. All the details of housekeeping from cellar to attic, kitchen to parlor, cookery to adornments, are attended to in the course of the yearly issues, while good contributions on purely literary topics are not lacking. Holyoke, Mass., and N. Y.: Clark W. Bryan & Co. $2.50 a year; $1.50 for six months; $1.00 for four months; 10 cents single copy. ====== During the first year of its publication GOOD HOUSEKEEPING has won for itself an enviable reputation in the Homes of the World. Its pages have been industriously and faithfully devoted to the improvement and development of the nobler and more desirable features of Home Life. It is original in design, comprehensive in management and strong in individuality of character and conduct. Its discussions have been practical and had with a view of being elevating, instructive and useful in the highest degree to every one having an ambition or desire to make the Home attractive and those who dwell there to feel that “there’s no place like home.” It has won the commendations of the press, not only in its own country, but in many others where the English language is spoken, such as has never been accorded to a family publication of such tender years. It numbers among its list of contributors many of the ablest and most noted writers of the day, on family topics, and these are supplemented by contributions from the pens of many practical and successful housekeepers measurably unknown to fame but none the less valuable workers in the field of Home Literature.
