Original printed softcovers minor chipping head & foot of spine slight chipping couple lower corners dustsoiling still a VG bright copy. First edition of one of the earliest American studies on Chinese Sugarcane Sorghum and the possibilities that this was the sorghum plant that American farmers hoped would grow in the Northern United States and definitive work on growing harvesting and distilling sorghum. A variety of “Chinese Sugarcane” was imported by Father Du Halde from Sichuan China in 1851 where it was quickly adopted also under the name of “Northern Chinese or Shanghai Sugarcane” as a crop to provide sugars for alcoholic products filling the void left by the grape crop failure in the 1850s. Chinese Sugarcane seeds were first brought into United States by Jay Browne Esq. in 1854 and a few intrepid American nurseries began planting and determining if it could be planted and harvested profitably in the North. Hyde writes that in his test crop he was able to secure a dark sugar from the cane molasses and notes that it will be of tremendous value in producing alcohol and confectionaries and that the Sorghum remnants could be fed to livestock. Hyde 1825-1898 worked with his father James Hyde in developing the very successful nursery emphasizing fruit trees ornamental trees and cash crops. He was a pioneering environmentalist who founded the first improvement society in the United States the Newton Centre Tree Club whose purpose was to emphasize beautifying the roads and commons in Massachusetts. He was Newton MA first mayor after the city was incorporated in 1873 and was also successful in persuading the Boston & Albany RR to acquire the existing single-track line of the Charles River Railroad to aid his nursery business. Original editions of this work have become quite scarce in the trade.

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.

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.

Kinko Cider' and 'Kin Suzu Citron'

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. No reference to the commercial image could be found. Unknown unknown
