need help identifying this old cookbook from Mt Pleasant School in SC i believe from some of the adds it was around the 1960s the phone numbers are 3 and 4 digits
Welcome to Tnet from Toronto Mya!
Based on the look of the paper, the binding and the quality of the printing of the map, your book would date from the 1880s - 90s
The fact that a phone number appears inside the cover makes me think it's original to the late-19thc.

"The first telephone line in the USA was constructed in 1877. Alexander Graham Bell successfully used his telephone invention in 1876. By 1877, construction of the first regular telephone line between Boston and Somerville, Massachusetts had been completed. Telephone line construction exploded with growth over the next few years. By 1880, there were 47,900 telephones across America. By 1881, telephone service between Boston and Providence had been established. By 1892, a telephone line had been constructed between New York and Chicago. By 1894, New York and Boston were connected."
