"The Housekeepers' Apple Book," by 

 Miss L. Gertrude Mackay, published by 

 Little, Brown & Company, Boston, price 

 75 cents, postage extra, is a very inter- 

 esting and valuable book for every 

 housekeeper. If a large sale and dis- 

 tribution of this book could be made it 

 would certainly be a factor in increas- 

 ing the consumption of apples. The 

 average family, properly supplied with 

 apples for eating fresh and as dessert, 

 will consume two boxes a month during 

 the winter months. There are from ten 

 to twelve thousand fruit growers in the 

 Northwest. If every fruit grower 

 would buy three or four of these books 

 and send to his friends or relatives in 

 the cities in the East, such a method 

 could easily be a factor in creating a 

 sale for nearly half a million boxes 

 extra. Those who receive the book 

 would undoubtedly speak of it to others 

 and in this way consumption would 

 still further be increased. It is sur- 

 prising to see how many apples a 

 family will eat when they learn to 

 serve them many different ways. The 

 editor's family consume about a box of 

 apples every week during the season.
