Scrapbook (07/049; 48 pp.) created by Lillian Dimmick features newspaper clippings, recipes, check stubs, letters, telegrams, and other material documenting her winnings in recipe and music trivia contests sponsored by local news media. Dimmick entered many of the recipe contests using the name "Cousin Michelina." Some war-time recipes feature meat substitutes and other rationed food saving techniques. Prizes included money and theater tickets. In 1946, Dimmick entered a contest sponsored by Robin Hood Flour and won a Frigidaire refrigerator. The scrapbook also contains a photograph of her son Howard with a poem she wrote for him, as well as a radio play entitled, "The Wishing Well." Acquired as part of the John W. Hartman Center for Sales, Advertising & Marketing History.
