This section was very interesting because of the labor costs mentioned and the costs for installing furnaces in the homes. The entire section can be seen on the Iowa History Site. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MODERN CONVENIENCES FOR THE FARM HOME EXAMPLES OF HOMES WHERE SOME MODERN CONVENIENCES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED From the many country homes where advantage has been taken of improved appliances for comfort and the saving of labor a few have been selected as illustrations of the cost of introducing such conveniences. The cost has been furnished in each case by the owners.
