The Peoria Women's Cook Book has been compiled and published by the young women of this society in order to raise funds for our pledge to the new Church enterprise.

An attempt has been made to secure recipes from as many as possible of Peoria's representative women. It is a matter of regret that many choice recipes have been unavoidably ommitted for lack of space and others on account of similarity to those already received.

Among the recipes are a number of originals which have not heretofore been published. All have been tested and recommended by those whose names are signed.

The compilers express their appreciation to those who have contributed material; to all others who have given of their time to help make the book possible.

We recommend for patronage the professional men, manufacturers and business men whose advertisements appear and suggest that in dealing with them this book be mentioned.
