This antique cook book from the Washburn Crosby Company, manufacturers of the famed Gold Medal Flour brand, dates from 1894 and appears to have been well-read!

The book is magazine-sized and features many wonderful illustrations in addition to the full-color lithographs on the front, back and inside front and back covers. A depiction of their impressive milling operations from the back cover appears in the preceding post.

Washburn Crosby formed the cornerstone of what was to become General Mills.
