Date
A WBS ledger in the WHS collection (box 24d) indicates an August 1911 payment to publisher Warren J. Crawley for 120-page cook books. A cookbook published by the Congregational church in 2001 also states that the WBS published a cook book in 1911. So 1911 is the probable date, unless it's a later edition.
