On the table is shown the result of the unselfish thought and care of the chief home-maker. The labor connected with the preparation of the meal is either a burden or a pleasure as one's previous training has made possible.

We get the best training for active life, in other than household work, early in life, at school and home. Why not learn to be good home-makers while still young?

We like to do what we do well. If we learn early, we learn easily and well—the work is a pleasure and success is assured.

Beginners should master the little recipes included in this book. They require only a small amount of material, but enough for success.


This is the tale that was told to me
By a loaf of home-made bread, you see,
As it sat one night on the pantry shelf—
A loaf on each side of it—just like itself,
While grouped around stood the pies and cakes,
The good old kind like mother makes,
And one and all then and there confessed
That they owed their existence to Pillsbury's Best.


I seem to trace through the distant haze
My byegone life in the good old days;
I see in my vision a field of wheat—
I knew I was there that the world might eat—
I drank of the showers and the morning dew;
In the noonday sun I throve and grew—
Grew on the verge of a sunny crest,
Just as fast as I could for Pillsbury's Best.
