It almost makes you sick to look at the grocery
bill. The prices of the staples of life are two or
three times what they used to be. Syrup is one of
the few foods that has not gone up to such a
great extent. But even so, a pound of syrup costs
about one-third the cost of a pound of butter,
about one-half the price of a good steak, and it is
cheaper than many other foods. When you con-
slider the concentrated energy there is in syrup it
is perhaps the cheapest food. ...
