Transcription notes
- Source is a printed newspaper clipping, glued to a card. Type is clean, high confidence. - Clipping is water-stained and browned. All text still legible. - Oven stated on the clipping as 350 degrees — no unit printed, assumed °F per standing rule. - "makes two" loaves, but no pan size given. - Nuts are optional in the original despite "Nut" in the title.
