An amusing find

[frualeydis]

I recently bought two women's magazines from the 1930s off a swedish auction site. Today they arrived. One, "Flitiga händer", was perfectly normal, but the other one "Kvinnan och hemmet" (Woman and home) seemed a little weird - for one they used english words in some of the ads, which of course is the rule now, but you didn't find in Sweden back then and secondly when they described dresses they gave the estimated yardage in - yards. It turned out that it was a magazine in swedish, published for Swedish Americans in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
