Step back into the pre-war era with this authentic 1939 'Thought for Food' recipe leaflet issued by the Kroger Grocery and Baking Co. Dated April 27, 1939, this piece of culinary ephemera was produced to celebrate Kroger's 57th Birthday Sale. The leaflet features Jean Allen of the Kroger Food Foundation and includes a personalized 'P.S.' letter to birthday guests, alongside professional kitchen photography showing the testing of 'Kroger's Own Guaranteed Brands.'

This four-page collectible is packed with period-accurate recipes such as Peanut Butter Dainties, Jellied Tomato Juice Consommé, Pineapple Petal Mold, and a Corn-Tomato Bisque. The graphic design is a wonderful example of late 1930s advertising, featuring bold red and black typography, the Kroger Food Foundation 'Seal of Safety,' and charming product illustrations of vintage tins and jars. It is a fantastic resource for food historians, ephemera collectors, or anyone interested in the domestic history of the Great Depression era.
