ANNALS OF LOCAL HISTORY!

In early February of 1929, Rickbeil's Hardware hosted a Community Cooking School. It seems similar to the Taste of Home Cooking Schools that now travel the country.

Among the products Miss Carter was to feature were some still familiar names: Swans Down Cake Flour, Jell-O, Grape Nuts, Bakers Chocolate, Cocoa and Coconut, Log Cabin Syrup and Bran Flakes.
