1915 F. W. McNess’ Cook Book

“Don’t cry over spilt milk” Furst-McNess Co. advertising booklet

Dated, but here’s the poem from page 2:

HER STRONG POINT

She had no dog to fondle,
She had no cat to pat,
She does not own a parrot,
She leads no social set;
She writes no learned papers
To read where women meet,
But she can get up dishes
Her husband likes to eat–
And they are saving money,
And find that life is sweet.
