Notes:

"Copyright, 1917 by Success Company's Branch Offices."

Text printed in two columns.

"Already upward of a million copies of 'Household Discoveries' have been distributed, and there is abundant evidence that the American people regard the millions of dollars paid for them not as an expense, but as an investment. For the keynote of the letters of endorsement received by the publishrs is economy. Multitudes have said that by the use of a single recipe they have saved as much or more than the cost to them of the entire volume."--Preface.

Includes index.
