Grocers' Goods

"Grocers' Goods: A Family Guide to the Purchase of Flour, Sugar, Tea, Coffee, Spices, Canned Goods, Cigars, Wines, and All Other Articles Usually Found in American Grocery Stores" by Frederick B. Goddard was a helpful family tool when it came to purchasing daily goods. As people began to move away from being fully self-sufficient and relied more and more on markets and grocers for food and supplies, this book helped people learn everything they needed to effectively do the shopping, from ale to yeast.
