My husband says it is:

"A Cookery Book Edited by the New York Finnish Women's Cooperative,
Sponsored by the Finnish Social Publishing Company, Fitchburg Mass."

If a person read Finnish, this would make an interesting source for an
anthropological study of foodways and the integration of immigrants into a
new culture.  (Yes, I'm an anthro major)
