Author: ALEXANDER, LUCY M. AND FANNY WALKER YEATMAN (U.S. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE)
Title: Pork in Preferred Ways
Description: Washington, DC: U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1929. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Pamphlet. B&W Photographs; This is a four page pamphlet issued by the Dept of Agriculture featuring the uses of pork and includes 13 recipes. The pamphlet is in Good condition overall. Both top and bottom spine ends have separated and torn (the top spine is torn about an inch in depth, the bottom spine, somewhat more than an inch). There are several small edge nicks to the covers and the pamphlet has been folded in half at some point in time, leaving a crease. There is one tear to the spine of the pamphlet which travels inward about half an inch. A previous owner has penciled in a few notation (underlined the titles of the recipes and notated that there are 13 recipes, otherwise, the text is clean and bright). The pamphlet itself is on off white / possibly cream colored paper which has darkened somewhat. Recipes include Panned Pork Chops, Stuffed Rib Chops with Apples, Pork Chop Suey, and others. The lettering on the front cover and for the decorations on the interior are Art Deco in style. This is an interesting ephemeral piece and rather difficult to find in any condition. "Pork makes up nearly half of the meat eaten in the United States. Although most of the pork reaches the consumer as cured ham, shoulder, bacon, and other preserved products, modern refrigerating methods make possible an abundant supply of the fresh meat at all seasons." (from Wikipedia). Good .
