I Had A Career On The Companion, Mary Dodds Schlick

The Iowa Homemaker

It was a stifling summer day in New York when I set out to make a good impression on the Crowell-Collier Publishing Company. A strange city far from home, seasonal but uncomfortable weather and the strain of my first interview made me wish my proper summer suit were taking me sightseeing instead of in the door of the Postum Building on Park Avenue, up the elevator to the sixth floor and down the hall to a large forbidding door with a shiny brass plaque inscribed "Woman's Home Companion Home Service Center."

Give A Cookbook For Christmas, Margaret Leveson

The Iowa Homemaker

Cookbooks are best sellers-and long lasting in interest, too. Not only does a good one hold your attention as no murder mystery ever could, but it also personifies the faith women have in a printed recipe. A woman accustomed to today's tested recipes will doubt almost everything in her kitchen-including her own good right arm-before she'll question her cookbook. And writers, editors and test kitchen staffs work hard to justify this faith.
