Cookbook with recipes using Spry, a brand of vegetable shortening that was first introduced in 1936. Lever Brothers gave this book away to home makers. Aunt Jenny uses the Spry recipes in this book to create cookies, cakes, pies and other fried goods for daughter Sylvia, husband Calvin, and various friends, including the postman Fred Cooper. There is not an exact date of publication in any of the books, which were first published in the 1940's.
I found this booklet as a free e-book, and I am glad I did. Spry was a vegetable cooking grease created in the late 1930s and was akin to Crisco. This booklet reads like a comic book, with drawn illustrations and word balloons.

This is the cookbook I remember my mom using the most. It is a fun vintage book that is still for sale on E Bay for $10 to $20 bucks. As an adult I have never made the cakes, there are more modern books to work from, but it is a fun read down memory lane.
