I found this book in my granny's house a couple of years ago. She passed away in 2011, and this book was just amongst a bunch of other books in a box in her bedroom. I'd never seen it before, and it didn't look as though anyone had had anything to do with it in quite some time.
Based on a Havertys advertisement inside that states their "Twenty-five years of fair-dealing" and the fact that Havertys was founded in 1885, this book must have been published in or around 1910. It states that it was printed in Memphis, but it is certainly geared toward the Atlanta market.
The time-period specific food and drink recipes abound as do the tips and helpful Hints. Even the spelling of many words is different. Enjoy this peculiar piece of household history, but when it comes to the medicinal remedies and first-aid suggestions, please realize they are more than one-hundred years old and many of them cause more harm than good. I've included them for entertainment purposes only.

One of the first pages in the book reads: We do not with that your life be all sunshine; But there be just enough shadow to temper the rays of the sun.
