First up is the Occident Photo-Method Recipes for Bread, Rolls, and Fancy Breads. I believe the cover and last page are missing, since it ends on 30 instead of 31.
Next is a pie-making pamphlet. The first 4 pages of this one are missing, and I can only assume the last 4 are also, so I don't have enough information to identify it.
The last two pamphlets were both published by Proctor and Gamble, the creators of Crisco, sometime after World War II. The first one, Pie: America's Favorite Dessert, is about, obviously, pies. The signature, Janie Bliss, is my great-grandmother's.
And, last but not least, is Cakes and Cookies, also signed by my great-grandmother. Back then, the singular of cookies was "cooky," so it's not a typo.
These recipes were the staple of my grandmother's baking, and she still uses some of them today (as you can tell by the stains and splatters), so if you're looking for some old-fashioned baking, try out one of these.
