This is part of a series of cookbooks produced as advertising for the J.R. Watkins Company, a company with a force of door-to-door salesmen who sold food products, household products, spices, extracts and flavors, toiletries, and more. I’m sure the cookbooks were sold, but I’m equally sure they were given away to good customers.
