About This Item
This spiral bound softcover is sound/usable but has many stains. The front wrapper has a large crease. There is a slit in the spiral spine and a tear in the plastic overlay.
Appears to be mid century since some of the many advertisers' phone numbers start with letters and it was published before zip codes. The names of the recipe contributors are listed.
The Chicago Junior School was
founded in St. Joe MI. in 1913 and moved to Elgin, IL. in 1923. It "provided a home and a school for boys and girls of grade school age who temporarily lack adequate home environment and to inspire them with ideals of right living." It later became the Fox River Country Day School.
It was in existence for 98 years until 2011. In 2012 the bank foreclosed on the school which was architecturally significant with buildings designed by John Van Bergen. The Unique Prarie Style buildings are now threatened with demolition and the 50 acre nature preserve is in danger of being subdivided into an industrial park according to prairiemod.com.
