👤 About the Ohio Apple Institute

The Ohio Apple Institute was a mid-century trade group in McArthur, Ohio, in the heart of southeastern Ohio\'s orchard country. It promoted the state\'s apple growers with recipe booklets and advertising like this one. Brochures like this were handed out at grocery stores, orchards, and county fairs to get home cooks baking, canning, and freezing more Ohio apples.

🎯 Great For

• Vintage cookbook and recipe pamphlet collectors
• Ohio history and Ohio farm memorabilia collectors
• Mid-century advertising and 1950s kitchen décor fans
• Framing for a farmhouse or retro kitchen, since the cover art is very displayable
• Home cooks and canners who want authentic vintage recipes

📏 Display Notes

The cover framed alone makes a nice piece of retro kitchen art. Use a mat and UV-protective glass, and don\'t use tape or glue, so the brochure stays undamaged and can still be unfolded.

📦 Shipping

The brochure will be shipped flat via USPS Ground Advantage with tracking.
