The Spool Cotton Company. Crochet For Your Linen Closet, no. 277. J. & P. Coats, Clark's O.N.T., 1951.
Featuring "flower baskets" [no. S-133], (shown on front cover), and "guest towel and tank cover" [no. S-138] (shown on back cover).
The Spool Cotton Company eventually merged with Coats &/or Clark, and they actually have a little page on Ravelry that contains some (similarly aged) patterns. Linked here, for those interested!
I am most familiar with the Coats company via their sewing thread. My favorite thread in general is actually the Coats&Clark Dual Duty XP line, if anything because it sits perfectly on my machine's short spool pin. For this purpose, of course, it features mercerized crochet thread.
This website has a nice database comparing, defining, examining various flosses/threads/purposes. :)

I was bored so I started spooling up the threads in the friendship bracelet kit I thrifted and discovered that about half of it is actually part of a cross stitch kit, so now I have to rearrange everything because I am just that picky…
So now I have crewel and crewel-style cotton all together in one bin (there is more in kits but I haven’t decided whether to strip those kits or not, yet), and the Coats & Clark that I didn’t like for cross stitch but is ok for embroidery is in the other small bin with the friendship bracelet threads because they’re all about the same [low] quality.
But I have to go and filter in all the new cross stitch thread into the unmarked threads bin which requires also making room and……
I’ve gotten myself into a bit of a mess.

“Knit for Defense” was the name of a campaign started by the Citizens Committee for the Army and Navy in the fall of 1941 to encourage women to knit sweaters, scarves, vests, or caps for men serving overseas. Yarn manufacturers responded enthusiastically, with patterns and colors designed for soldiers, sailors, and airmen. The use of the word “defense” was perhaps intentionally cautious, as the U.S. didn’t enter the war until December 1941 after the attack on Pearl Harbor. A 1943 publication in the same series as this booklet carried the more forceful title: “Knit for Victory.”

We love this trade card for its modern looking design. It could be the color palette, but it is giving us nostalgic vibes for the 1970s.
This trade card is one of a collection advertising Clark’s mile-end spool cotton. The verso shows a handy calendar of July - December.
Donaldson Brothers (Firm), printer. [Clark's mile end spool cotton trade card] [United States] [ca. 1885] chromolithograph ; 6 x 10 cm. (2.5 x 4 in.) or smaller.

MY SEITAN "SALAMI" (WITH "PEPPERONI" VARIATION)
I devised this recipe quite a few years ago, but never got around to sharing it until now. I grew up in San Francisco, in a district with plenty of Italian grocery stores and delicatessans, as well as a father who was half Italian. Salami and pepperoni on crusty San Francisco sourdough bread or rolls were favorites during those pre-vegetarian days. Unfortunately, even to this day, commercial vegan versions leave me unsatisfied.
Over a number of years, I worked on this recipe until I finally came up with one that satisfied my memory of real Italian salami. It's not hard to make and the ingredients are not hard to obtain. I hope you like it as much as we do!

BRYANNA'S SEITAN "SALAMI" (WITH "PEPPERONI" VARIATION)
© 2019 Bryanna Clark Grogan. All Rights Reserved.
This is a recipe that I devised many years ago. I grew up in San Francisco and used to love the real Italian salami there. So far, commercial vegetarian/vegan versions don't do much for me
This recipe is baked (sort of like my seitan roasts, but it does not require all the kneading and resting.) The flavor is great, especially if you have the patience wait until the next day, and it slices very thinly, yet is moist. It freezes very well!
DRY MIX:
2 cups pure gluten powder (vital wheat gluten)
6 Tbs oat bran
2 Tbs instant (minute) tapioca (also known as "small pearl tapioca")
(See photos just below-- this is NOT the same thing as tapioca starch or flour!)
4 tsp paprika (can be smoked sweet paprika)
2 tsp dry mustard powder
2 tsp onion powder
2-4 tsp WHOLE black peppercorns
WET MIX:
1 1/2 cup dry red wine (can be non-alcoholic)
6 Tbs soy sauce (Please do not use Bragg’s liquid aminos instead-- they are not fermented, which means that they don’t have all the umami flavor of fermented soy sauce,)
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup ketchup
2 Tbs dark (roasted) sesame oil
6 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp Liquid smoke (IF you used plain sweet paprika and not smoked sweet paprika)
COOKING BROTH:
1 3/4 cups water
6 Tbs soy sauce
1 Tbs olive oil
6 cloves garlic, crushed
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Mix the Dry Mix ingredients in a medium bowl, or in the bowl of your food processor, blending well.
Mix the Wet Mix ingredients together in a blender. Add to the Dry Mix. Stir and then knead, or process until a soft dough forms. (If you have a food processor, use it-- it makes the mixing very fast and easy.) This just takes a few minutes-- it will seem too liquid-y at first, but will firm up.
Divide the dough into 2 equal portions and roll them on a clean countertop into 2 rolls.
Roll and tie the dough tightly in doubled-up cheesecloth, as in the photo below (see about cheesecloth and twine at end of recipe).
Place the rolls side-by-side in a small roasting pan.
Pour the Cooking Broth over them. Cover the pan (use foil if necessary) and bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, turning after 45 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed.
Cool the rolls for at least 8 hours before using (you can freeze them after that, if you like). The flavor improves upon standing. Slice very thinly.
VARIATION:
SEITAN "PEPPERONI":
Use only 2 tsp. of whole black peppercorns
and add 1 tsp. freshly-ground black pepper.
Add to the Dry Mix:
1 tsp dried red chile pepper flakes
1 tsp ground anise seed,
2 pinches ground allspice
To make "Pepperoni", proceed as above, but you may want to make 4 smaller sausage rolls.
Cheesecloth is loosely woven cotton gauze, originally used to wrap cheeses, but also used for crafts, cooking, straining and more. Cheesecloth is available in at least seven different grades, from open to extra-fine weave. Grades are distinguished by the number of threads per inch in each direction. Here's an article explaining all!
For wrapping the sausages, I use a double layer of ordinary, all-purpose, household cheesecloth (#10 grade), available in most grocery stores, or dollar stores.
However, you can use a finer grade of cheesecloth if you prefer (#40 to 90 grade), in which case you will only need one layer. Kitchen Supply Co. is a popular brand and is available from kitchen and gourmet stores and many online kitchen supply stores. Unbleached varieties are now available. Beyond Gourmet is a popular brand and is available from many online sources.
White Cooking or Kitchen Twine is food-grade, biodegradable cotton twine. (There is also an unbleached variety.) It is indispensable for tying off small sausages and wrapping large sausages, seitan roasts, etc. before simmering. There are several common brands and spool sizes, and there are also convenient dispensers, such as spools and twine holders, available. Most kitchen supply and gourmet cookware stores will carry this product, and it is available widely online. Search kaboodle.com and amazon.com for a variety of brands, sizes, prices, and twine dispensers.
Enjoy!
