The Welfare Cook Book
Milk Wagon Drivers' Welfare Auxiliary
Softcover; Fair;
Chicago, IL; Milk Wagon Drivers' Welfare Auxiliary; 1924; 8vo - 7.75" - 9.75" tall;
This is an interesting collection of 800 recipes from a women's organization although only a small number are signed. The cover is paper over a cloth base. The paper is virtually gone at the spine with only the thin gauzelike cloth present. The cover is soiled and scuffed. All pages are present and the binding sound although there is some weakening at the head and foot of a few pages. Many pages are lightly soiled - perhaps from light use, perhaps from the normal acid content of vintage paper. There are also many advertisements, including some with photographs for local businesses. 208 pages.
