It specifies bust measurements and yardage, instructs sending 35 cents in coins with name and address to Barbara Bell in Chicago, and urges readers to obtain Basin FASHION Fall Winter 37 for more patterns, offering a 25 cent catalog.
A collage of kitchen hints and recipes covering rice with oregano and butter, cake frosting swirls, pineapple caramel sundae sauce, bacon serving tips, sardine tomato filling, a fruit juice port drink, and the dairy value of milk and butter.
