INCREASED VALUE OF PENNY

Only a few years ago no one but
the small child realized the value of
a penny. To the business man, pen
nies were looked upon as a nuisance
and a bother because they became
mixed with the other loose change
in his pocket. To the child, penny
was the cherished article which would
gain recognition at the candy store
around the corner.
Twenty years ago pennies were not
considered in transactions at the gro
Gerry stores. Bacon was either 25
cents or 80 cents, never 81 cents. If
a cut of cheese on the scale weighed
up to 80 cents, it was sold for 80
cents, and if it weighed 80 cents, it
went for 35 cents.
Now with the war and luxury tax
es, about so per cent of our purchases
call for pennies. You start out in the
morning with a 81 bill and you are
sure to end up with few odd pen
nies.
The mints of the United States are
devoting all their time to the max
ing of pennies, which the peculiar war
prices demand. There is a continual
shortage Of pennies.
Nowadays the child who has
talked" his dad out of a nickel finds
that he must also have a penny be- |
fore he can get that soda. Many |
times has the value of that penny |
been demonstrated to such children.
