More of Art

December 7, 1932 - Cold again today.  I stayed home tonite and read the "Good Housekeeping" magazine while the folks went to church.  Hans Brogren, Jr. [birthday].
December 8, 1932 - Mr. Walker and I played "Over The Top" tonite.  I won, wonder of wonders.  I hektographed some Santa Claus', too.
December 9, 1932 - Ray came after me about 4:30.  We stopped out to Ola's.  Art and Rudolph were there.  I stayed for supper while Ray went into town.  He came out after supper.  We looked at Art's scrapbooks of China.  He explained a lot of the pictures.  It was surely interesting.  Gladys Schmitt [birthday].

Here we have Art again.  Now we know he went to China, but that doesn't help me figure out anything else.

I looked and looked for December 1932's Good Housekeeping magazine's cover but did not find it.  Maybe Grandma was reading an old issue.  (I didn't look for January 1933, maybe that is what she had.)  This is a really sweet cover, though.

And speaking of Good Housekeeping, here's a little bit of information from wikipedia:

     "Good Housekeeping is a women's magazine owned by the Hearst Corporation, featuring articles about women's interests, product testing by The Good Housekeeping Institute, recipes, diet, health as well as literary articles. It is well known for the "Good Housekeeping Seal," popularly known as the "Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval."

     The magazine was founded May 2, 1885 by Clark W. Bryan in Holyoke, Massachusetts.

     The magazine achieved a circulation of 300,000 by 1911, at which time it was bought by the Hearst Corporation. It topped one million in the mid-1920s, and continued to rise, even during the Great Depression and its aftermath. In 1938, a year in which the magazine advertising dropped 22 percent, Good Housekeeping showed an operating profit of $2,583,202, more than three times the profit of Hearst's other eight magazines combined, and probably the most profitable monthly of its time. Circulation topped 2,500,000 in 1943, 3,500,000 in the mid-1950s, 5,000,000 in 1962, and 5,500,000 per month in 1966. 1959 profits were more than $11 million.

     Good Housekeeping is one of the "Seven Sisters", a group of women's service magazines.

     The Hearst Corporation created a British edition along the same lines in 1922.

     Famous writers who have contributed to the magazine include Somerset Maugham, Edwin Markham, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Frances Parkinson Keyes, A. J. Cronin, Virginia Woolf, and Evelyn Waugh."
