Old Cooking Utensils
and New

Do you still cook in the old-fash-
toned earthen and enamel ware, or
have you replaced these with the
more modern cooking utensils
aluminium?
Have you ever stopped to think
that the coating of earthen ware is
lead-glazed and that there is always
the danger OF its chipping and get
ting into your food? Have you ever
stopped TO think that enamel ware
even the best-cracks and chips?
These are dangers perhaps that
you have never thought OF in all your
housekeeping experience.
Aluminium ware is light--light as
you have never thought it possible
TO make cooking utensils and yet
have them substantial. You have
seen the iron pots that our grand
mothers and great-grandmothe
used and you have often wondered
no doubt how they ever managed to
lift them about. In those days cook
ing utensils were made with one
thought in mind only-that they had
to last-and last lifetime.
Now. all this has changed. The
heavy iron pot has gone with all the
other accommodates of a generation
or two ago. and today we are able
to purchase aluminium utensils that
not only combine strength with
lightness, but that last lifetime.
These aluminium cooking utensils
heat quicker and stay hot longer
than other ware. They cannot rust
or chip. break or bend--and most i'm
portant to be considered, are pure
and safe
The modern housewife delights in
using aluminium ware. Its shining
cleanliness and beauty appeals to her
pride IN her kitchen.
