Families by writing on their orders ... _packets' Brown and Polson_, and
refusing to receive any but the packages which bear BROWN and POLSON'S
name in full and Trade Mark, would discourage the fraudulent means by
which the substitution of inferior kinds are encouraged.
Many Grocers, Chemists, etc., who supply the best quality, in preference
to best profit articles, sell none but BROWN and POLSON'S.

My object in writing this little book is to show you how you may prepare
and cook your daily food, so as to obtain from it the greatest amount of
nourishment at the least possible expense; and thus, by skill and
economy, add, at the same time, to your comfort and to your
comparatively slender means. The Recipes which it contains will afford
sufficient variety, from the simple every-day fare to more tasty dishes
for the birthday, Christmas-day, or other festive occasions.
To those of my readers who, from sickness or other hindrance, have not
money in store, I would say, strive to lay by a little of your weekly
wages ... that your families may be well fed, and your homes made
comfortable.
