For the Hostess Kelvinator Advertising Cookbooklet from Pomeroy's Department Store, Reading, PA 1920s

For the Hostess Advertising Cookbooklet from Kelvinator.

With beautiful illustrations evoking the Jazz Age, this promotional cookbook from Kelvinator Incorporated, manufacturer of America's "Oldest Domestic Electric Refrigerator," is dedicated "to the Home-Makers of the World" with the company's best wishes to assist the modern housewife in her "enviable task - that of  making your dwelling place - a Home."  Who can resist a book that "has been prepared with one thought in mind - to lighten and make more pleasant the task of the home-maker?"

In addition to being an advertising piece for Kelvinator refrigerators, the book has the stamp of one of the premier department stores of the day, Pomeroy's in Reading, Pennsylvania.  Pomeroy's would have been the distributor of this cookbooklet, gifting it to customers who purchased a new Kelvinator, or perhaps sharing it with potential customers to entice a purchase.

Measuring approximately7 3/4" x 5 3/4", the cookbooklet contains 22 pages alongside lovely illustrations and suggestions for how best to care for one's new Kelvinator.
