The back cover looks so bright and futuristic. Like this is really how your produce is gonna' look when it emerges from its arctic jail a month from now.

"Written under the guidance of James D. Winter (!!!), M.S. Professor of Horticulture... University Farm, St. Paul... A great deal of his time outside working hours is spent on experimenting with frozen foods as a hobby."

There you have it.

Once upon a time, you needed to be The Incredible Hulk to pry ice cubes loose. On the other hand, the tray didn't crack and split any time you looked at it sideways. :P

So many weeks of work in that stifling hot kitchen. It's no wonder that in the end, Mom started hallucinating that the produce was alive and doing a ritual dance on the stove...

Bad news: A) this is honestly the most interesting part of the booklet/promo, and B) since this is the U.S., no Canning Doc will see you without pricey Canning Insurance anyway. :(

"Whenever possible, these characteristics are described and explained in this Buying Guide..."

So put away that Shakespeare you vowed to read back in January. The nuances of produce are way more important than some cranky prince whose Mom remarried right away.

"...But, in spite of these factors...each fruit and vegetable has some inherent characteristics which do not change..." but which you will obscure under heaps of mayo and/or sugar so your family will actually deign to eat them.

"...Then, too, ever-changing marketing and distribution conditions-- the section in which a commodity is grown, the manner in which it is graded and packed, distance to the market and the available transportation facilities-- all influence the quality and price of the fresh fruits and vegetables you buy."

Also laborers. You know how they are. Always expecting to be paid and stuff.

Today, I learned that the real Nell Gwyn was one of the first women in England who could legally work in the theater as an actress. Before that, she peddled oranges to people who came to watch the plays. (Also, a whole lot of stuff not suitable for an all-ages photostream.) Thank you, Internets!

..."In the early days, tea was enjoyed as a hot drink exclusively. It wasn't until 1904, at the St. Louis Exhibition, that iced tea became a beverage. A vendor at the exhibition was not having much luck selling hot tea on this particular summer day, so he poured it over ice and found that he had created a beverage that Americans liked..."

40 Miracles For Your Table (10), 1930

I love how sixty years before the advent of Martha Stewart, there were already "easy" at-home projects like the one on the right. Just imagine the hair-tearing possibilities for the housewife who wanted to keep this thing frozen and at the ready for a party-- in a freezer that probably had about half as much storage space as a shoebox. Also, I think the "cracker driver" is a tiny, cookie-sized alien.

Anyway, that brings us to the end. There's still both a "Sprague Foods" and a "Richelieu Foods" out there if you use your search engine. For what it's worth.
