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.

James Ashley. Who at the London Punch House on Ludgatehill 1731 First Reduc'd the Price of PUNCH & rais'd its Reputation

rif. 267136London: Thomas Worlidge n.d. ca mid-18th century. Engraved portrait of James Ashley in cartouche flanked by ornate pedestals supporting two punch bowls with engraved caption as above by Thomas Worlidge. 1 vols. 7-9/16 x 5-3/4 in. A strong impression laid down light creases from prior folding small pin hole near engraved caption. Engraved portrait of James Ashley in cartouche flanked by ornate pedestals supporting two punch bowls with engraved caption as above by Thomas Worlidge. 1 vols. 7-9/16 x 5-3/4 in. Scarce trade card of James Ashley proprietor of the London Coffee House and Punch-House 1731-1776 who was "London's leading purveyor of Punch in the eighteenth century" Wondrich Punch p. 65 and "the world's first celebrity mixologist the first man to become famous for compounding and selling a mixed drink" ibid p. 172. Ashley a former cheese merchant opened his Punch-House in 1731 in Ludgatehill London. Extensive advertising in London papers as well as the distinct ornate pedestals surmounted by iron punch bowls which flanked its entrance made the London Punch-House one of the most well-known drinking establishments in the city. Clientele included Hogarth Boswell Oliver Goldsmith and Benjamin Franklin. A large sign outside of the Punch-House echoes the caption on this trade card "Pro bono publico. James Ashley in 1731 first reduced the price of punch raised its reputation and brought it into universal esteem." Ashley did indeed reduce the price of punch - from 8 shillings for punch made from a quart of arrack to 6 shillings - but his great innovation was to offer punch in smaller portions in servings as small as two ounces. These small servings made to order for the customer were the precursor to the modern cocktail. This trade card is engraved by Ashley's friend Thomas Worlidge 1700-1766 dubbed "the English Rembrandt" who also engraved portraits of Ashley's wife and one Mrs. Graywood the bar-keep at the London Punch-House.
