I believe cooking oil came about after the depression, everyone used lard, and grease during those times. Corn oil was invented in 1910. But during the depression we did not have an effective distribution system. The barter system was alive and well back then. You paid the doc with a chicken. LOL

Right, my dad never mentioned anything about corn oil, as far as I remember him saying lard and grease were the only things they were using back then.
