A culturally significant group of mimeographed recipes instructions and promotional flyers for the Home Economics & Cooking School demonstrations put on by Naoma Rice for three different Minnesota utility and public utility companies through the depths of the Great Depression. Spearheaded by Rice 1899-1937 the demonstrations emphasized the use and advantages of electric ranges and refrigerators as their popularity and use slowly became more widespread in the 1930’s with an emphasis on local produce and fruits. The first group of recipes includes instructions for such confections as Cranberry Sponge Cake Cider Sherbet Macaroon Pie Spagetti sic Sauce and Bran Refrigerator Rolls. Mixed through the other recipes there are instructions for Crunchy Potato Chip Cookies Apple Cheese Cake Parmesan Veal Frozen Pumpkin Pie and Corn Flake Crust. Several of the recipes emphasize the use of popular Minnesota fruits including Apple Quince Grapes and others.The importance of refrigeration was also emphasized in the “Cooking School” and Model Kitchens with instructions on temperatures needed for home rangers and refrigerators for cooked foods meats butter opened jelly or preserves cheeses and more. Rice suffered through an unspecified childhood illness by by the early 1920’s had become a public school Home Economics Teacher and then by 1928 was listed in Austin MN street directories as a “Demonstrator” for home economics and cooking classes. The Minnesota Utilities Company had been created in 1917 from several smaller utilities and my the Great Depression had grown large enough that it became subject to both the TVA and the Rural Electrification Project as Roosevelt’s New Deal programs attempted to encourage increased use of electricity and electric appliances to boost the economy. The Northern States Power Co. was based out of Minneapolis MN and extended across Minnesota Michigan into the Dakotas and operated an extensive Home Service Dept. The Federal Public Service Corporation of Minnesota appears to have been one of the short-lived outgrowths of WPA and PWA-sponsored programs under the New Deal. This cataloguer could not locate any similar surviving documents for Naoma Rice cooking classes or the Minnesota-based utility companies.

First edition of this exceedingly scarce promotional catalogue for the Swift & Co.’s newly opened subsidiary packing house in Boston MA featuring on the rear cover all the New England market specific product labels. The new packing house in Somerville MA included 6 acres of cold storage for dressed meats and packaged meats brought into the East from Chicago as well as maintaining local stockyards and slaughter house operations in and around Boston. Swift 1839-1903 had originally grown up and worked in West Sandwich Cape Cod MA and in the 1870’s moved to Chicago where he became a driving force in the meatpacking industry. He was the first to employ refrigerated cars over protests of other butchers and major railroads which rightly believed the refrigerated systems would threaten their lockhold on stock cars and animal pens. By the 1890’s Swift & Co. had established North Packing & Provision Co. and were transporting over 3000 carcasses a week into Boston forcing other firms such as Armour & Co. to copy their methods. The subsidiary also allowed him to overcome resistance from East Coast meat retailers who questioned safety of frozen meat and so vastly did he increase production the packing house was able to dominate the Eastern markets.

This intriguing Pure Food Fair promotion guide compiled by the noted Swiss-American western food fair display designer and promoter captures the energy and impact in Colorado Washington Massachusetts and the United Kingdom following the passage of the Pure Food & Drug Act of 1906. Across the United States and in the UK there was a tremendous growth of the public’s interest in sanitary food manufacturing packaging new products and more importantly booths designed to demonstrate that there products were unadulterated safe & modern. The Denver Retail Grocers Association and the Spokane Grocers’ Association contracted with the intrepid salesman and show promoter to present “up-to-date carefully managed City and State-wide advertised indoor exposition of pure foods household electrical gas auto labor-saving appliances and industrial exhibits of every nature” in the two Western Cities. The 1908 Boston Food Fair was a lavish Progressive Era production which featured the band and performances of John Philip Sousa to entertain participants and fair-goers. Tremp b. 1873 first emigrated into Oakland CA before setting himself up in Denver CO until just before World War I with a focus on “Pure Food” fairs but after World War I would move back to California and remained there as a show promoter until the 1950’s. No similar copies of the Denver Spokane or Boston Food Fair promotional catalogues and prospectuses are located in Worldcat or food & drink or advertising specialty institutional holdings.
