TO OUR READERS.
In issuing the Favorite Receipt Book and Business Directory, several ob-
jects are had in view. One is to make money, perhaps it is not necessary
to state this fact, but for the additional one that the money received from it
is to used for a benevolent purpose. It will be seen also that this book is
an advertising medium. It is believed that the names of none but the most
reliable dealers will be found here, and we do most cordially commend
them and their goods, feeling assured that our friends will find with them
the best articles and at the most satisfactory prices. We have tested many
of them ourselves and know whereof we speak. Finally, though we ought
not to live to eat, yet we must eat to live, and it is a very desirable thing to
know how to eat with the most enjoyment and profit. This book aims also
to give reliable information on that most important point. The receipts
here given, have been thoroughly tested, and are believed to be among the
best in every respect. Give them a trial and we are confident you will find
them valuable in point of
COMFORT, ECONOMY AND HEALTH.
