Notes: Interesting note- this recipe was written on the back of a Merchants National Bank counter check. Counter checks were used in the 40's-60's at banks. You could go to the bank, get some counter checks and write out the information as well as your account number and use as personal checks. Names were not preprinted on these checks, although. Preprinted information started about late 60's-70's.
