INCOME: They have no income except what they make by stringing bags. Food costs them about $2.50 a week. Rent is $1 a month.
HOME CONDITIONS: The house is just a cabin and has 4 rooms. They only have enough land for a small garden. They own a cow and a few chickens. They have a sewing machine and an old piano. Although the house is small it is very well kept. She has been stringing bags about 35 years and makes $17.00 or $18.00 a month. This is their only income and they couldn't live without this work. Since she is so old, this work bothers her eyes a little. |
