Here's some hundred-year-old advice about the weight equivalents of various common ingredients. It's interesting how a given volume of some foods weighs less than other foods. For example, 2 cups of granulated sugar equals a pound, but a pint (2 cups) of brown sugar equals 13 ounces.
I found this list in a cookbook compiled by an organization. It made me smile to see how the one item on the list that spilled over to a second line was out of alignment with the other items in the list. I'd probably do something like that - though maybe that's how it's supposed formatted. Not sure.
