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.

A wide variety of packing options included water pack light syrup heavy syrup and frozen offerings which were packed into 10 oz. metal and paper fibre cans. Oregon Fruit Products was one of the many U.S. Companies to quickly expand their offerings with Abbot Laboratories notorious artificial sweetener Sucaryl Calcium Cyclamate which was marketed towards those dieters and customers with diabetes or other metabolic disorders wishing for sweet-tasting foods. However within 12 years after the “Oretetic” brand products were introduced in 1969 the FDA banned cyclamates due to two 1968 studies tracing links to bladder cancer. Gehlhar 1886-1969 originally purchased 10 acres in the West Side Fruit Farm district of Salem OR in 1910 and began farming and by 1920 was operating 160 acres producing cherries & prunes and later built the Gehlhar prune dryer in 1926. In 1931 he served as the first Oregon State Director of Agriculture and after a 1935 fire destroyed his fruit dryer the cannery remained and he chose to instead focus on canning and marketing canned fruit products for distribution in the Pacific Northwest. Although originally focused on canned fruits and then later frozen products by the late 1980’s and early 1990’s the company began diversifying their product line. In 2011 the Gehlhar family sold the company to Ed Maletis who have now expanded to a new location in Salem OR.

[FOOD & DRINK -- BISCUITS & COOKIES]. [GREER, Jesse Wade].Biblio.com

Nice grouping of 10 scarce original photographs of Greer baking & packaging machinery for a Lowell Massachusetts cracker company prior to World War II.

1935réf. 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.
