Secretary of Meat.

I just finished this piece for my show in December. I'm not quite sure on the title yet. I guess something involving meat and typing. The text says "Hints to meal planners- Many of the thriftier cuts of meat are favorites with men." The little booklet it came from was published in 1941, when it was common for the wife to cook thrifty meats for her hard working man. I found it at an antique store a couple of years ago along with another booklet on diseases and what capsules to take for them. Some of the descriptions of these ailments are quite graphic. These little booklets make me very happy and so does this meat secretary. Hey, possible title? More delightful dishes to be served up later.
