About this book
Menu Making Magic
Author: Public Service Electric & Gas
Year: 1930
This is a recipe and home economics cookbook published by the Home Economics Department of the Public Service Electric & Gas (PSE&G) company headquartered in Newark, NJ. It is labeled as publication No. 620. The document itself is undated, but believed to be from circa 1930's. This was a period where home economics classes and publications were being used to encourage consumers to have their houses fitted for gas and electric connections so that they could purchase new labor-saving home appliances. This was seen as a way of driving future utility sales of gas and electricity. This book has a section dedicated to explaining the different types of home and kitchen appliances available on the market, as well as a section about how to best design a kitchen floorplan for maximized ease and efficiency.
