Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 230, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 September 1912 — Collective Housekeeping. [ARTICLE]

Collective Housekeeping.

An English paper tells of an experiment in collective housekeeping in what is known as Brent Garden village. The dwelling houses contain all improvements except a kitchen. Meals for everybody are cooked at a central haU, and may either be eaten there or sent holhe. A four-course dinner costs only 1 shilling and 6 pence. Servants are supplied, when needed, from the central hall at a cost of about ten cents an hour.
