I love vintage books and magazines.... and recently found these 2 Zane Gray 1948 books and the cute little 1958 cook book. I especially love little vintage cook books (as well as magazines) for their graphics and "helpful homemaker hints"...
I find that popular images for that era are/were Tea Carts, Paper Lanterns, Parisian Cats and hour-glass figured ladies in aprons!
This particular little cook book had chapters titled: "Especially for the Girls", the ladies white gloved lunch section,,, "When it's Strictly Stag" for the guys when they get together to talk sports & lawn fertilizers...,and "Teen-Age Triumphs",,, for when the teens get together and drink soda with a straw from a bottle while talking about the latest 45's......In fact I use my little vintage cart to store my cook books, even my vintage ones... to bad I don't like to cook! lol!
How cute! I have a cookbook from my Mother that I think has that same drawings.I'll have to see if I can find it and share the title and see if it's the same one. I do cook simply because I can't get anyone to do it for me and I like REALLY good food and I beat all the restaurants around here plus I try to eat fresh and organic when I can. Love all your vintage stuff!
