Description

Cook Book Coupon – pre-1928 – Gold Medal Flour/Washburn-Crosby Co./General Mills
Beginning first in 1856 with the newly acquired Minneapolis Mill Company, Cadwaller Washburn joined with his brother and John Crosby to form the Washburn-Crosby Co. in 1877.
The company won the gold, silver and bronze medals in the first International Millers Exposition, and thus relabeled their flour “the best in the world,” leading to the creation of the Gold Medal Flour name. In 1928, James Ford Bell, president of Washburn Crosby Co. merged their mills with 26 others, creating General Mills.
Good for a Gold Medal Cook Book for one’s self and a friend, attained by mailing the coupon and 10 cents to the Washburn-Crosby Co, Minneapolis, MN.
