PRIZE RECIPES From TWO RIVERS REPORTER READERS . . . . Holiday Greetings From Your Carrier Boy. (did they not employ girls during the 1950's?) All 6 recipe books measure 6" x 9" and are similar in style. They date from 1954 1955 1956 1958 1959 1960 and each has 26 or 28 pages but 1950 has 26 with no pages missing. Each recipe includes the mostly-local contributors name and town, and there is no advertising as filler.
Quoted from the 1960 Issue:
THANK YOU . . . . . To the many homemakers in this area who have shared their recipes with all of us through the "Recipes from Readers" columns. All the recipes printed in this eighth edition of your newspaper's holiday cookbook have appeared in the food columns during the past year. We are starting now to save recipes for the 1961 book. We are looking for YOUR favorite recipes. Please send them to Women's Page Editor, The Herald Times, Manitowoc, Wisconsin.
Thank you again for your continued cooperation.

COUNTRY GARDEN TOMATO SOUP
14 pounds firm, ripe red tomatoes
4 medium onions
2 large leek (or use 6 onions)
4 sweet red peppers (or 2 red and 2 green or 4 green)
1 medium-size bunch of celery
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1-1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup salt
Wash, then cut up tomatoes. Chop celery, onions, leek and peppers into small pieces and add to the tomatoes. Cook all until soft. Put through food mill or sieve to remove skins and seeds. Return to stove and add cayenne pepper. Bring to boiling point. Make a paste of the flour, sugar and salt by mixing with two cups cold water. Add some of the hot tomato liquid to the paste to prevent lumping and then add to the boiling juice stirring constantly until soup is slightly thickened. Put in quart jars and seal and process at 10 pounds pressure for 25 minutes. (Process pint jars 20 minutes at 10 pounds pressure).
Yields approximately 6 quarts.
