Published in 1943 so this is a history of food preservation from the past perspective of peoples in the 1940s during World War 2 and while there was food rationing. In addition, the focus appears to be on American methods of food preservation - American colonists, American farmers and native American methods. Also examines early 20th century and "current" methods of preservation. 

90+ pages with illustrations and photos. Published by Heinz (yes - company that makes ketchup) and written by Edith Elliot Swank. 

Note: while published by Heinz, the book definitely doesn't focus on Heinz or have advertising for Heinz products. This is a history book only.

Condition is good with only minor flaws.
