This fonds consists of twenty-one almanac diaries kept by Margaret Ling Andrews (1870-1957) of Wheatley River, Prince Edward Island. The diary entries are a single line per day for the years 1924-1925, 1928-1944 and 1946-1947. The entries are written inside annual copies of "Dr. A.W. Chase's Calendar Almanac for the Home, Factory, Farm, Office" published by the Dr. A.W. Chase Medicine Co. Limited of Oakville, Canada. Margaret Ling Andrews's diary entries cover the weather, farm life, homemaking, visitors and community happenings. The majority of the text of the almanac is advertisements and endorsements for Dr. Chase's medicines, supplemented with humourous stories and astronomical data.
