Here’s a great find, it’s a recipe folder from Quaker Oats featuring 12 different recipes, I believe this was published in 1938. One side of the sheet has a small section promoting two radio show characters, “Betty Lou” from The Quaker Party that was broadcast Saturday nights and “Girl Alone” that was broadcast 5 days a week. The sheet is too long for my scanner so I scanned it in sections. The folder is typed out below and each of the pictures are clickable if you’d like to view a larger size.
