40 Old Life Hacks That Are Still Unbelievably Useful

People don't usually look back at the beginning of the 20th century for advice, but what if we were actually able to learn something useful from the Lost Generation?


Below you'll find 40 how-to-do-it pictures discovered in cigarette boxes over 100 years ago and digitized by the New York Public Library. The tips they give are so helpful that you might want to take some notes.


Back in 1900, cigarette cards were famous collectibles enclosed in every pack and displayed pictures of celebrities and advertisements. Gallaher cigarettes, a UK-founded tobacco company that used to be the greatest worldwide, decided to print a series of useful how-to's on their cards, which varied from everyday tasks (boiling potatoes) to rare situations (stopping a runaway horse). The majority of them are unbelievably clever and practical.


The entire set of life hacks is currently part of the NYPL's George Arents Collection. Take a look at some of the smartest ones below. Don't forget to comment for your favorite!

I read some testimonies about a love spell caster by DR LOVE on how he has helped lots of people in bringing back their ex lovers within 48hours, Sincerely I was just thinking if that was real and if this man could really help bring back my lover whom I love so much. I decided to contact him because I love my boyfriend very much and we have been apart for a couple of months I really missed him so much, I have tried all other means to get him back but couldnt.I contacted DR LOVE and he told me that my ex will come back to me in the next 48 hours,DR LOVE released him up to know how much i loved and wanted him. And opened his eyes to picture how much we have share together. My ex is now back to me again.As I`m writing this testimony right now I`m the most happiest girl on earth and me and my boyfriend is living a happy life and our love is now stronger than how it were even before our break up.All thanks goes to DR LOVE for the excessive work that he has done for me by helping me to get back with my ex boyfriend. I would like to drop DR LOVE mail address and hope you see this testimony and contact him if you have a lover that you really want back so badly, His mail:drlovetemple@gmail.com or whatsapp number +2349031349407
