Object Details

Americans often wrote to their Representatives for help, and responses came in many forms. Booklets like this one gave constituents access to a remarkably wide range of government resources. Congressman Harold Hagen sent out advice on cooking to a Minnesota voter. The pamphlet contained recipes and tips aimed at “this country’s 33,000,000 homemakers,” who, the text assured readers, were “trying to do a blue-ribbon job of feeding a family well.”
