"Cheating the Junk-Pile: The Purchase and Maintenance of Household Equipment" by Ethel R. Peyser is a practical guide on household management published in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the efficient selection, purchase, and maintenance of various household devices and equipment, aiming to inspire homeowners to maximize their investments and avoid unnecessary waste or improperly functioning items. The author emphasizes the importance of informed decision-making when managing household appliances. The opening of the book introduces the author's intentions and the necessity for such a guide in modern homes, where myriad new household devices are available. Peyser argues against mindless consumerism and highlights the importance of making thoughtful choices to prevent building a “junk-pile” of unused or poorly maintained items. The introductory sections also delve into basic principles of household management, introducing the housekeeper as a manager and outlining how modern appliances can streamline household chores, ultimately promoting a more efficient and pleasant home life.
