No Author F.W. McNess Cookbook
Freeport-Illinois: Furst-McNess Company, 1935
Soft Cover. Very Good/Wraps, Very Good. No Edition Stated. The F.W. McNess name is still known for agribusiness serving the dairy, swine and beef industries. But there was a time when the company not only made livestock products, but also things for the home -- and delivered them by horse and buggy! This catalog came along at least two decades after the quaint delivery system, but is nonetheless filled with vintage charm from its wonderful cover art of a mother and two children expressing great delight at the sight of a chocolate pie made using McNess vanilla extract and canned "chocolate dessert" to its great photos of the period and wonderful recipes from all over the world. On the left hand side of the page they appear in their language of origin and on the right in English. Scattered throughou the booklet are ads for other McNess products, including its farming line.What we especially love is that it's been stamped on the back with the words "Archie L. Parr, The McNess Man, Everett, Ohio." Booklet measures 6x9" and is clean as a whistle inside and out with just a small bit of wear at spine. A hole has been punched at top corner nearest spine using a hole puncher, but this is no way compromises any of the pages, of which there are 64. A charming edition to any collection.
