I found this old calendar in my garage.  It is full of poetry, and quotes throughout.  It is in excellent condition.  The days and dates of the week are in example below.  It is not written in todays calendar format.  I was just a little curious if anyone could help me figure out how to get more info on this.  There is no publisher or anything to help identify where it came from, just a date of 1914 and the tilte Mothers' Calendar.....

Example:

June
mon: 1,8, 15,22,29
tues: 2, 9, 16, 23, 30
wed: 3, 10, 17, 24
thur: 4, 11, 18, 25
fri: 5,  12, 19, 26
sat: 6, 13, 20, 27
sun: 7, 14, 21, 28

From 1914 up until 1919 all US printed calendars were in this format due to WW1.



In 1914 the first world war was starting up. The British had long known that war was unavoidable and had been preparing and stockpiling supplies. The U.S. was selling and/or loaning the Brits a lot of war material, and the one thing the Brits were desperately short on was Grid Squares for their artillery units. So the U.S. Gov't gathered up all the available grids and squares from US manufacturers to be shipped to England. Grids and squares did not become available for civilian use until the war's end in 1918.
