Ida Bailey Allen (1885–1973)

I have this book because it's old and shows how people cooked in the early 1930's. Also has interesting "household hints," which were common in old cookbooks.

Height of the Depression. Both unpaginated. Both utilize the "Special Index." 650000 people requested Vol One. No. 2 subtitled: 200 Cooking Tricks 700 recipes. Black pages interleaved for pasting in owners recipes. Peppered throughout with her legion of advertisers. Classics.
