Eight parts. 4to. 46 pp assorted separate numbering. w/ most leaves printed on recto only but 2 printed on recto & verso in mimeograph typescript stapled at upper left corners separately 1 part w/ “Seasons Greetings” printed in red minor age toning edgewear still a VG group. 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.

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.

1935Best.-Nr. 58780Lowell MA & Boston MA: J.W. Greer Co. The Fellman Studio for Creative Photography 30 Huntington Ave.; Marion Photographers ca. 1935. Ten silver gelatin photographs sized 8 x 10 in. inserted through corner slots on Bainbridge Board sized 10.5 x 12 in. mimeograph typescript labels neatly mounted at lower fore-edge of all images some creasing to corners from having been inserted into slots many w/ pencil annotations nearly all w/ photographer’s imprints on versos minor scuffing & wear to boards some edgewear wear to corners still VG set. A scarce group of original sales photographs for Greer biscuit cracker & cookie making machinery which allowed automated production and packaging. The first image depicts the “Cutting Machine” which rolled the dough into sheets and cut out the individual crackers placing them onto conveyors to the ovens. The immense gas burning oven with valves and temperature mixers mounted alongside includes photos of both the discharge from the cutting machine onto the oven conveyor and the discharge onto the cooling conveyors. The final five photos focus on the filling and weighing machinery which would ensure the correct amounts per package and then pack them in rolls insert into cartons and tightly seal each carton. Greer 1876-1950 was a machinist and inventor who began producing some of the world’s first automated bakery and confectionery equipment before World War I founded J.W. Greer Co. in 1919 and would eventually grow to a company of over 650 employees. The company continued to expand through World War II and later became the Wire Belt Co. still operating today in Londonderry NH. Since half of these photographs were shot by a Lowell MA photographer these could possibly have been automated machines installed for use by the Lowell Cracker Co. beloved for their soda oyster crackers or the Johnson Educator Food Company best known for Crax crackers sprayed with butter oil.

1910Best.-Nr. 10474Yokohama: Unknown 1910. Print. 'Kinko Cider' 510x375mm chromolithograph advertising poster. First Showa Era. Faint edge wear; Near Fine JAPANESE SOFT DRINK POSTER 'Kinko Cider' and 'Kin Suzu Citron' 510x375mm single leaf French style commercial chromolithographic advertising poster depicting a woman in a red French Comedy Pierrot style costume pouring a sparkling drink into her hat verso blank with two Japanese soft drink labels to the corners. Printer and illustrator unknown. First Showa Era circa 1910. Faint edge wear corners slightly rounded small edge repair to verso else Near Fine. Carbonated drinks were first introduced to Japan by Commodore Perry in 1853 when he served lemonade to Japanese officials. Western habits fashions and products were quickly adopted in many areas of life as Japan opened to the West. Soft drinks became popular after the various cholera outbreaks of the late nineteenth century as they were often marketed as safer than local water supplies. Many water companies and utilities began to manufacture soft drinks during the late nineteenth century. Yokohama was a particular centre for their production. The drinks were often sealed in 'crown-top' bottles as can be seen in the illustration. 'Cider' was the generic name given to an American soda style drink; carbonated usually fruit-flavoured; nothing to do with the European concept of apple based brewed cider. 'Citron' was the name given to a Japanese soda flavoured with lemon Citron became popular after 1909 and by 1919 Japanese soda style drinks were widely available. In 1865 torpedo style and marble stopper bottles began to be used for some drinks - which became known as 'Ramune' but are similar to 'Cider' and 'Citron'. By 1921 as mechanical production was widespread and there were over 2000 Japanese soft drink companies producing 'Cider' 'Ramune' and 'Citron'. Rare. A fascinating example of the influence of nineteenth century Western food and drink culture on Japanese consumers in the Meji and Showa Eras. § Apparently unrecorded.

First editions thus of these marvelous colour lithograph advertising and education posters detailing the Gold Medal Flour Milling process by the Washburn-Crosby Co. mills during the Progressive Era. Washburn-Crosby Co. had been founded in the 19th-Century and after inventing the middlings purifier for producing high quality flour from the Spring wheat grown in Minnesota and the Dakotas quickly expanded. Washburn-Crosby also introduced the gradual reduction process through pulverizing porcelain chilled iron or steel rollers to gradually pulverize the purified middlings and integrate the gluten with starch and finally they installed the exhaust system of William de la Barre to reduce the risk of explostions. A smaller version of this cutaway design of a Washburn-Crosby flour mill first appeared in the 1915 Wheat & Flour Primer advertising their Gold Medal Flour and this one was issued just a few hours later in a larger format detailing how the consumer could trust the purity of Gold Medal Flour. The second cutaway poster vividly illustrates the ideal Spring wheat kernel used by the company and details the various layers and their terminology. Edwards & Deutsch Lithographing Co. was first founded in 1896 and continued to be one of Chicago’s most successful poster and packaging colour lithography printers through the 1920’s.
