CANTON -- Traditionally, American women furnished their homes with handmade items for both decorative and utility purposes. By the late 19th Century, cheaper, mass-produced factory goods were filling homes, including a variety of time- and labor-saving gadgets.
Canton-born artist Frederic Remington (1861-1909) lived during this time period and undoubtedly saw the juxtaposition of domestic production with factory-made goods in his own home.
