In 1899, Orator F. Woodward acquired the rights to Jell-O and published recipe booklets to gather interest. The booklets proved to be an invaluable marketing strategy, providing homemakers with creative uses for the ready-made product. This booklet offers recipes utilizing Jell-O products with an extra-rich fruit flavor developed by "blending the pure fruit flavor right into the tiny Jell-O crystals!"
