NEW AT THE OLD PITTS HOMESTEAD: Antique 1920s Hospitality Made Easy Through The Art Of Biscuitry Pamphlet

This softcover pamphlet, written by Agnes Carroll Hayward, was complimentary from the National Biscuit Company, "Uneeda Bakers".

From the inside cover:

"WHAT a comfortable sound the word "hospitality" used to have! Didn't it bring up visions of bountifully laden sideboards, cold joints of meat, roast hams, young pigs, and myriad other good things of long departed days?

To the woman who keeps up to the times -- whether she live on Rural Route Five or Fifth Avenue, hospitality means biscuitry -- one suggests the other. And biscuitry -- the art discovered and perfected by the "Uneeda Bakers" -- means placing in the hands of the women of the nation the solution of the problem of hospitality.

Hospitality begins at home!"
