I can relate to all of this. Grew up very poor in the 50's.

This wasnt my grandparents , it was Mom and Dad. And they didnt only do it to get through the depression. For me, it was a way of life that I was taught.

Here in Southern Oklahoma during the depression my relatives had farms raised gardens and livestock among other things to survive when times were hard and made their own clothes, soap, tools and other things, thanks for the memories of what my kinfolks and others did to survive back then thank you.🏘️🖖🇺🇲

There were no TVs during the Depression.

@Undercoverbooks 4 дня назад

I don't get the comment about TV-watching, as during the Depression, in the 1930s, TV was just in its development, with the first U.S. TV stations beginning in 1939. By 1950, only 9% of households had a TV.

a lot of people starved to death........nothing was growing.......the west became a dust bowl......desert like......farmers that were able to grow allowed people to glean the fields after they had harvested as much as they were allowed or could be sold.....

Do you also blame the printing press when a book sucks? People are the problem, not the system of capitalism.

They fail to mention that companies started offering pretty, colorful, printed material as packaging on their flour or feed sacks. It worked as a way to get people to choose your brand over another. This resulted in a lot of those "flour sack" dresses as being quite pretty. In the 1970's a designer dress brand called Gunneysaks started selling cute floral dresses that mimicked the old flour sack fashions.

@Undercoverbooks 4 дня назад

Yes! I remember those. I also had a set of kitchen towels made from flour sack cloth. They were the best!

At age 11, my grandfather was given up to an "orphanage", as were half his siblings. He was contracted out by the "orphanage" to work as a field hand and laborer. Other families sold their children when they could not afford to keep them, often assisted by "relief" agencies and local government officials. Riding the Rails was not "fun", it was desperation and invariably resulted in beatings by Pinkerton railroad cops. The birth rate had steadily dropped every year since 1825. From 1930-1940 (the Great Depression)it flattened and then jumped until 1950. The average wage for men was $1,419 per year or $0.64 per hour. "Only" a dollar more would have nearly tripled their wages. Shanty towns were as "popular" as slums.

I'M 58 MALE AUSTRALIAN AND I WAS STILL GETTING HAND ME DOWNS INTO THE 80'S, AND I WOULD GIVE SOME OF MY CLOTHES TO MY UNCLE, BECAUSE WE GREW UP ON A FARM 30KM PLUS FROM THE NEAREST TOWN

@katehenry2718 3 дня назад

Plastic feed bags don't make good clothes. Tell someone you quilt, and the Cloth Fairy will deliver free to your door in secret. "hand me downs" and second hand clothes shops have always been common around the world. Beautiful things for pennys on the dollar. Shoe repair is hard to find. Most new fall apart fast.

@OurJourneyHomestead2022 4 дня назад

These men and women with their pressed suits and their pretty little hats and playing miniature golf. Those are not the people that struggled during the great depression.Let's keep it real

@ImaOKay522 4 дня назад

Hand me down clothes never went out of practice. Never will.

Laugh if you still can. We are getting back there rapidily. Bartering a carrot for apple at least gives you variety in your diet. Just hope you have food to barter.
