Colour-illust. softcovers, photo on rear of mill w/ bread trucks parked at loading dock (minor shelfwear, very minor soiling), still VG- copy, stapled as issued. First edition of this early product cook book using Crown flour, known for its purity and quality. This catalogue for Crown Mills was issued just prior to the U.S. entering World War I at the end of the Progressive Era and following passage of a number of food purity and adulteration acts passed, including the original Food and Drugs Act signed into law in June, 1906 which prohibited the interstate commerce in misbranded and adulterated foods, drinks, and drugs, as well as regulations against colouring foods. Many of the most successful and largest flour milling operations in the US assembled and distributed sample cases such as these to demonstrate the purity of their products, and that they carefully prepared edible products for consumers. Humphreys (1882-1941) appears to have been a partial pseudonym for Lucy L. Humphreys, using her sister-in-law Lois A. Humphreys initials, and was a longtime educator and administrator at the Woodstock School in Portland, and advocate of improving food and nutrition for her students and their families.

Foreword by the Minister of the Starbuck United Church (A.M. Simpson) offering a short history of the founding of the Church, as well as a note regarding the compiling of this cook book: "This year, 1949, marks another milestone in the story of progress and advance for the Starbuck congregation. It is the year in which a full-sized concrete basement was put in under the church. The initial impulse, much of the enthusiasm and a great deal of financial aid for this great undertaking came from the Women's Association of the Church. It is in the same spirit of helpfulness that the members and friends of Starbuck United Church Women's Association have compiled this little book of their favorite proven recipes, and, that it will prove a boon to all who use it, is their sincere wish."
