"Cheaper By the Dozen"


“Cheaper By the Dozen” - Original Film Gives Lessons to Today’s Family

Cheaper By the Dozen

The original 1950 “Cheaper By the Dozen” movie was based upon the 1946 story written by Frank Gilbreth Jr. and his sister Ernestine Gilbreth Carey who were two of twelve children raised by Frank and Lillian Gilbreth during the early 1900’s.[1]  Cheaper By the Dozen was a popular book during it’s time probably because people were fascinated by the challenges and logistics involved in raising a large family, especially by two well educated parents.
