bought an auction lot that included these old promotional cookbook pamphlets... the two older ones are from 1927 - 1928... the 'aunt sammy' is from the dept of Agriculture when they did a radio show for homemakers... allegedly aunt 'sammy' is uncle sam's wife. The Dr. Jayne pamphlet on canning and preserving is full of 'ads' for dr. Jayne's famous tonics and patent medicines...

Now i want to know the secrets to baking a perfect cake! Interesting pamphlets.

needless to say, since that booklet was created and handed out by the manufacturer of Swans Down cake flour... the key to a perfect cake was to use good ingredients... specifically swans down cake flour.
