I just downloaded it.

It looks like they produced that book in 1922 as a way to promote their meat curing product, "Freeze-Em-Pickle."  Some things have changed since it was written; meat curing products, refrigeration, regulations, etc., but it'll make a great read none-the-less.

Ironically you can still buy "Freeze-Em Pickle, now made by Frisco Brand Spices.

I found some pics of the original packaging by B. Heller and Co.:  https://archive.lib.msu.edu/DMC/sliker/msuspcsbs_bhel_bhellerand7/msuspcsbs_bhel_bhellerand7.pdf



Neat stuff!  Thanks for the tip, Rexter.
