Simply place your Roast, your Fowl, your Pudding etc., into the Cookery Bag; seal it--place it into the pan--remove from the oven when the time has expired--that's all. no shrinkage,-- no loss of flavor--no smell of cooking--no pans to wash. Genuine Cookery Bags are odorless, tasteless, moisture-proof, germ-proof. We sell them in 25 cent packets containing from 15 to 60 bags of either straight or assorted sizes."---display ad, The MacKinnon Company, 40 Sussex Ave., Morristown, Daily Record, November 22, 1911 (p. 1)
