1. Blueing - a cleaning agent that whitens fabrics.
2. Many national match companies were located in the Akron Ohio area; Diamond Match,Akron, Ohio Match Co., Wadsworth.
3. amounts are not quantity, but prices she has added together
4. underwear
5. Pricey Corset!
6. Interesting how she seems to emphasize Real Silk Socks - is that a sound of disapproval or resentment? Is that price for one pair? Seems a lot to spend for this family to spend on socks!
7. Could this price be for a dress pattern rather than a dress - not much to spend on a dress after the pricey socks!
