Betty Crocker Radio Artist January 8, 1936

While researching another project I came across this little gem. The woman playing the part of Betty Crocker "Radio Artist" for this event was Majorie Childe Husted - who really was Betty Crocker more than any one else who worked for General Mills back. I wonder if she revealed her true identity as the directory of the Betty Crocker Kitchens? 

To read more about the amazing Husted, read my book Finding Betty Crocker. 

I do believe this Ladies' Auxiliary of the Talmud Torah event was in Minneapolis but it could have been St. Paul.

Happy May Day Vintage Betty Crocker Fans!

In honor of May Day 2024, here is a letter from 1950 from the Betty Crocker staff to my grandmother, "My Dear Mrs. Springer" who wrote to Betty about some adorable May Day basket cupcakes she made for her daughter, my mother. 

When my grandmother gave me this letter that she had saved for so many decades, it was the first time in my life I was speechless. It's true; not a lot can shut me up but this sure did. 

You can read more about it in my book, Finding Betty Crocker.
