Several years ago a piece entitled 'How to be a Good Wife' appeared in a British newspaper claiming to be taken from a magazine called Housekeeping Monthly and dated 13th May 1955. A picture from our image collection (actually a cover illustration from the British weekly magazine John Bull) was used to illustrate the article and our image credit appeared alongside it. There is some debate as to whether this is even a genuine magazine article or a hoax. The Advertising Archives makes no claim as to the authenticity of the text or to authorship of it. We have created our own 'Good Wife's Guide' in response to popular demand.
