Mince-Meat for PIN Money.
To be sure, many housekeepers make their
own m1nce- meat But 1T Is also true that
numberless housewives who do, would gladly
dispense with the extra labor II they should
chance to ind some maker of mince who
would furnish to customers quality that was
truly unsurpassed, and made with neat hands,
and in neat and wholesome surroundings.
This line Of undertaking is one that may be
probably entered into, and will bring Its
own reward in dollars and cents. There are
any number Of good receipts; but a woman
igiral1ty, concoct m nee preparation, whose
combination may, be known only to herself,
ana Du1ld up reputation that VIII event
she can supply. And, without doubt, there
are housewives among all readers of house
keeping magazines who are turning anxiously
to all pages which suggest remunerative
things whereby to make few extra dollars.
Some Of them, hope, will at least try making
mincemeat. 1t is home work; work that any
painstaking woman may do perfectly; work
that will always Bind sale, and from which
very neat little profit may be made. AS
well as suggestions to offer, i have also PROOF,
and the proof isgthis:
A relative Of OURS obtained snug little in
come from the making of this article, and
until compelled to give up the business she
kept 1t up, making more money every year
that she offered her wares for SALE This, of
course, spoke well for the quality OF her
make of mince: She was known to be neat
ness personifed, strictly honest, and always
amiable and pleasant to ell who came to her
door. She would no more put into her mince-
meat inferior fruit, low grade or unwnoiesome
meats for her customers than she would for
herself. 1t could be always depended upon
in every respect. At the outset of her career,
she had no more intention of making bust
ness of 1t than any other housewife when
making a batch" of the mince for her
own family Sadie was simply providing
luxury for her own folks But she had made
as she supposed But for once she had made
a miss in her calculations, for neighboF

was preparing to put it away begged the
privilege of buying portion.
She conflded to Sadie that much as she.
herself, and family loved minee pies, she did
mince meat and added that IL she knew
where she could buy a genuinely good brand,
that she knew to be cieansrshe. would never
make gallon of it, but would buy It when
ever wanted: and that would be often, she
added. Sadie sold her what she wanted,
telling her that Of course she should have to
have little profit for the making And then
she began to think. The outcome of 1t was,
that in short time she was actually max
ing the mince pie material for sale, ana ad-
vertised the fact. 1t was soon noised about
that she made the most delicious mince meat,
and sold it at reasonable rates, and soon
customers came focking about her. IN ner
porting as a seamstress When she became
housekeeper and wife, her little income nad
gone with her girlhood. And, though very
happy she yet longed for the independence
Of her own making; and right here was her
opportunity. She made the best OF It, too,
replenishing her purse, and became In r1gnt
earnest her husbands helpmate.
She was an expert buyer of household sup
plies She knew where to find veritable bar
gains" and this knowledge stood her well IN
hand. In very little time she increased her
profits without asking more than the first
price set for her mince meat. She selected
personally all her meats and woe to the

Everything that went into her mince meat

the result that the article of commerce that
