    HERE YOU HAVE A RARE CHILDREN'S BOOKLET PEICE OF HISTORY THAT WAS CREATED FOR THE PILLSBURY WASHBURN FLOUR MILLS CO. MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA IN 1902. "A TRIP TO EGYPT BY DREAMLAND BABIES" BERTHA CORBETT MELCHER DRAWINGS WERE SHOWN TO EDWIN OSGOOD GROVER WHO THEN SHOWED TO HIS SISTER (EULALIE OSGOOD GROVER) WHO WAS A FORMER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER, SHE HAD BEGUN A NEW CAREER WRITTING BOOKS FOR CHILDREN. SHE LIKED CORBETT'S DESIGNS AND SUGGESTED THAT THEY COLLABORATE ON A BOOK.
