I didn't show up until the late 50's. But my father's mother still cooked on a old wood stove, and I have memories of her giving me a perm one summer using "rag rollers"...strips of torn muslin for the rollers. She made some quilts, and though I asked for, and expected to receive, the one she made for my father, my sister saw to it that it did not come to me after his death. That was a hard blow. Maybe someday I will make a reproduction of it from my memory. Anyway, I do remember the very cold winter nights sleeping at her house, as they had one central wood (or maybe coal) burning heater that sat in the center of the living room down stairs. The heat would drift upstairs through decorative large vents in the floor of the bedrooms. I also remember Grandma made the best homemade biscuits on that old stove.
So, I am not a 30's baby, but my Grandma never did let go of many of the way she always did things....and I benefited from that.
