x X X More than 1OO,OOO,OOO
pounds of n1acaroni

About seven million pounds Of
macaroni were sold in America
in 1914, of which nearly two mill
lion pounds were imported. Fig
ured by families, this means about
five ounces per year per fam
lily. Compare it with tlOenfy-fwo
pounds per family consumed in
Italy in a normal year. Macaroni
is no fad. Cooked with tomatoes
or cheese or served with meat
gravy, it is an appetizing, satisfy
ing, delightful food. Children like
it. No grown-up would object to
eating a liberal serving once or
twice a month. A consumption of
six pounds of macaroni per year
per family is easily possible-only
half pound a month. Why should
we import two million pounds of
macaroni in a year? Is it not
practicable for Pacific Northwest
manufacturer of macaroni to OBJ
tain their share of this hundred
million pound trade? 1t is hardly
in keeping with the traditions of
American industry to sell five or
six ounces of a product where six
pounds may be sold. Families of
the State of Washington alone
could consume more than two
million pounds year.
