This Dolly Madison is not to be confused with the snack-cake company that inflated every 1970s Peanuts special with ads for stuff you couldn't even buy where I lived. Bah!

"How To Prepare Foods For Freezing," 1959

The saga of Coldspot Freezers and Sears, Roebuck and Co. is a complicated one. Two volumes, one from 1958 and the other from 1959. They are more or less identical. I felt real pain about choosing which front cover to post. This one had the better title text, but the other had the better logo: it was kind of Art Deco crown-ish. But there you go. Life is all about choices.

"How To Freeze Foods" (3), c1950

"Jams and preserves made from frozen berries stored for a year or less are better in flavor and quality than jams and preserves made during the harvest season and kept on the shelves for several months. Frozen fruits are excellent for jelly-making."

Likely this was a huge point of controversy fifty-plus years ago: devastating marriages and shattering parent-child bonds, sort of like General Hospital, but with food instead of medicine...

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.
