In the days before blogs and email, groups of women (and it was almost always women back in those days) relied on the technology of their time to share recipes and cooking tips. They were often brought together by their membership at churches, synagogues or charitable organizations. One woman would be in charge of gathering the recipes, while another (typically one who had worked as a secretary prior to her marriage) would handle the typing. Together (with contributions from their group members) they would produce monthly or semi-monthly newsletters like the one you see above.
I found this one tucked into an old Sunset cookbook in the back of my cousin's cookbook cabinet when I was over there on Sunday night (also when I found the Velveeta pamphlet). After the jump there's another recipe from the newsletter that didn't fit in the picture.
