Several additional recipes fixed to supplied blank pages. 172 pages. Rare. No copies located in WorldCat institutions. One of the earliest cookbooks published in Pendleton, Oregon. Issued in December 1927, it precedes the American Legion Auxiliary 1936 cookbook by nearly a decade. Originally owned by Edith Janet (Laing) Hudson, who was born in Pendleton in 1901 (seven entries in the cookbook are credited to her aunt, Fannie Laing, aka Mrs. James T. Laing). Both of Edith's Canadian grandfathers, Robert Laing and John Dand, were Umatilla County pioneers, having settled there in the early to mid-1880s, both farming in the Cold Springs area just north of Pendleton. She married Elmer Hudson in 1924. They moved to Bend in 1931, and together owned and operated the Maytag Appliance Store from about 1941, until their retirement in 1967 (a little vintage Maytag Blue Cheese Cookbook is tucked in).
