History

Mila [183]2 years ago

So I went to work in Allen street (Manhattan) in what they call a sweatshop, making skirts by machine. I was new at the work and the foreman scolded me a great deal. I lived at this time with a girl named Ella, who worked in the same factory and made $5 a week. We had the room all to ourselves, paying $1.50 a week for it, and doing light housekeeping.

We did our cooking on an oil stove, and lived well, as this list of our expenses for one week will show:

ELLA AND SADIE FOR FOOD (ONE WEEK)

Tea $0.06
Cocoa .10
Bread and rolls .40
Canned vegetables .20
Potatoes .10
Milk .21
Fruit .20
Butter .15
Meat .60
Fish .15
Laundry .25

Total $2.42

Add rent 1.50

Grand total $3.92

Of course, we could have lived cheaper, but we are both fond of good things and felt that we could afford them.

Some people who buy at the last of the market, when the men with the carts want to go home, can get things very cheap, but they are likely to be stale, and we did not often do that with fish, fresh vegetables, fruit, milk or meat. Things that kept well we did buy that way and got good bargains, and we found a factory where we could buy the finest broken crackers for 3 cents a pound, and another place where we got broken candy for 10 cents a pound.

It cost me $2 a week to live, and I had a dollar a week to spend on clothing and pleasure, and saved the other dollar.

Hopefully this helps! If you have any other questions comment or message me!

What changed the lifestyle of the Paleo-Indians and led them to form permanent settlements? the abundance of plants and animals
Advocard [28]

The Paleoindians were the first groups of populations who inhabited the American continent as a result of the events of the glacial period between 45,000 and 12,000 BCE. This period created a glacial "bridge" between what is now Russia and Alaska. This made it possible for people from that age to cross all the way to the American Continent.

The arrival of the Archaic Period saw the continent experience more mild weather. This made it possible for people to settle within a certain geographic latitude, as it was no longer necessary to migrate in search for warmer weather due to the harsh weather conditions of the glacial period. It also meant that vast extensions of terrain would now be available for crop cultivation, which would be used as a source of food for these people.
