Homemaker’s School Opens Tomorrow
Many Prizes To Be Given Away Daily
Sessions Will Begin at 2 p.m. Friday and Saturday; No Admission Charges
Lock the doors and come to the Luverne armory Friday and Saturday afternoons when The Star and Luverne merchants entertain at their School for Homemakers. Hundreds of Rock county women are expected to attend.
Interesting Program Arranged
Mrs. Eleanor Yenerich, nationality known lecturer and demonstrator, will present a program filled with interesting ideas and helpful suggestions. Working on the very newest of modern kitchen equipment, she will prepare all sorts of interesting, yet inexpensive dishes at the cooking school. On the first day, attractive foods will be concocted for unexpected guests. These will be made up out of the very ingredients and food products that each woman keeps on hand at all times in her pantry. The second afternoon will be devoted to preparing colorful dishes that will tempt jaded appetites. An assortment of appetizing quick yeast dinner rolls will be made on the second day along with some tantalizing meat dishes, picturesque pies and other foods.
Mrs. Yenerich is greatly interested in the increased use of this state’s own farm and dairy products, and in addition to featuring the use of cheese in new ways, she will use liberal quantities of butter, milk, cream and eggs throughout both sessions.
Distinctive dishes can be created through the use of seasoning, flavorings and garnishing, Mrs. Yenerich affirms, and so she will impart some of her secrets in seasoning to the women who attend.
Many Prizes to be Awarded
Several hundred free gifts will be awarded to the women attending the school. Prizes will include cooking equipment, costume jewelry, cookbooks and a huge supply of grocery products, including a year’s supply of Rinso given as a single award.
This Homemaker’s School is free and every woman in the community is cordially invited to attend. Remember the time, Friday and Saturday afternoons, from 2 to 4.

The Kash Saving Store will set a table at the event. Coca Cola Bottling Works of Sioux Falls have provided Mrs. Yenerich with several cartons of the beverage to be given away as prizes.
