http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/54672676

Interviews were conducted as part of the interpretive program development for the Mill City Museum in Minneapolis, operated by the Minnesota Historical Society. The primary purpose of the interviews was to gain insight into the work of the test kitchens of the two leading flour milling companies with roots in the Minneapolis milling district. Five women, who had been employed as home economists for General Mills or Pillsbury, were interviewed: Marcia Copeland, Barbara T. Lockwood, Sylvia Ogren, Barbara Jo Davis, and Ralcie Ceass. They were asked about their educational backgrounds, job responsibilities, product development, work environment and careeer opportunities at each company, company promotions and public tour programs.
