The Fire-King Cook Book

From the world's largest manufacturer of household glass: a 32 page booklet of recipes, serving suggestions, a catalog of Fire-King products, and an introduction to the characters of the CBS Radio program, "Meet Corliss Archer".

This cookbook was available by mail -- with the following enclosed note:

"Dear Friend
We take great pleasure in sending you the enclosed Fire-King Casserole Recipe Book which was offered on our "Meet Corliss Archer" radio program. The recipes in this book were carefully selected by a group of distinguished home economists from a long list of famous tested recipes. We believe you and your family will enjoy them thoroughly.

Special Fire-King displays will appear in thousands of stores throughout the nation during September. Watch for these special Fire-King window displays and convince yourself of the usefulness and beauty of this modern ovenglass. Better still, buy a 50c casserole and to the delight of these recipes add the joy of better baking with Fire-King.

Very Truly Yours,

ANCHOR HOCKING GLASS CORPORATION"
