Two Programs Bon Ton Program Quality by Martha Ross Temple (1 results)

This pairing includes Program No. 4 and 13 for the Bon-Ton Quality Group Cooking School School. The school was run by Martha Ross Temple and held classes every Tuesday afternoon. The two programs are from classes held on Tuesday, October 10 , and Tuesday, December 12 in 1933. The each class appears to have been centered around a theme, with the recipes for each class printed on the inside. The No. 4 program's theme was "Meals Men Hurry Home To" and includes recipes for such dishes like: Meal Loaf Surprise, Banana Fritters, Baked Onion Rings & Cheese, and Cucumber & Beet Salad. Program No. 13's theme was "The Grand Finale" which appears to be in reference to either the last class of the course or a grand meal/party, with such recipes as: Plum Pudding, Savory Corn Pudding, Tea Sandwiches, and Current Cream Mousse. While the classes were always supported by the Broadcast Over Station W-O-R-K, a local radio station in York, PA, a list of additional (and changing) supporters were printed on the back of the program. Martha Ross Temple, the teacher of the course, was a 1931 graduate of the College of Home Economics at University Park, Maryland. Additionally, while both programs use the same format and design, including a silhouette image of a woman cooking near a radio microphone, they were printed in different color inks and on different color pages. Two holes were placed on the side in order to bind all the programs together. Two single fold programs. Measures 8" x 6" (folded), 12" x 8" (unfolded). Very good. Some toning, wear, dust soiling.…
