In 1901 Timothy Eaton had become one of the world's outstanding retail merchant. Through the pages of the 1901 Eaton's catalogs the rural and quiet life in that period comes vividly to life. Some will relive the days of their youth, others will remember the furnishings and equipment they saw stored in their grandmother's attic, and the young will smile and be amused at that very strange and different era.All members of the family spent hours enjoying by oil or gas light the fascinating and interesting illustrations and descriptions of items including: butter-churns, ostrich feathers, men's fur coats, brass and iron bedsteads, organs, shoo-fly rockers, graphophones, bibles, seal lined underwear, Agnew's heart cure, wigs, ladies' automobile and sealette coats, medical batteries and, of course, Granny's Gift Box of Tom Smith's Toy Crackers.

A wealthy madam who was known from San Francisco to Victoria in the early part of the 20th century, Stella Carroll was glamorous, worldly and determined to succeed. Her bordellos were fashionably decorated and patronized by the affluent and the powerful; she offered the best of everything—fine food and wine, cigars, entertainment and, of course, girls. The author, with the cooperation of Stella’s family in California and New Mexico, has provided an intimate portrait of this infamous, unrepentant woman, her business and her tenuous relationships with double-dealing politicians and corrupt police, whose cooperation was essential to her success in the shadowy world she inhabited. Stella was a woman of contrasts. Her scandalous lifestyle and fiery temper often landed her in court on morals charges, yet she was devoted to and supportive of her family and gave generously to orphans and charities. This compelling non-fiction narrative is a fascinating look at Stella’s life and at how things were in Victoria 100 years ago.
Lunch-Bucket Lives takes the reader on a bumpy ride through the history of Hamilton’s working people from the 1890s to the 1930s. It ambles along city streets, peers through kitchen doors and factory windows, marches up the steps of churches and fraternal halls, slips into saloons and dance halls, pauses to hear political speeches, and, above all, listens for the stories of men, women, youths, and children from families where people relied mainly on wages to survive. Heron takes wage-earning as a central element in working-class life, but also looks beyond the workplace into the households and neighbourhoods—settlement patterns and housing, marriage, child care, domestic labour, public health, schooling, charity and social work, popular culture, gender identities, ethnicity and ethnic conflict, and politics in various forms—presenting a comprehensive view of working-class life in the first half of the twentieth century. This book has been published with the help of a grant from the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences, through the Awards to Scholarly Publications Program, using funds provided by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
