Why Thanksgiving day has beer
nationally nicknamed Turkey Day
can easily be explained by the man
ayers and owners of the various eat

assortment of meats, such as chick
en-, duck, young sucking pig, nearly
so percent Of the dinners served
consisted of turkey. with all its trim
mings.
Turkey was not only the most
popular bird in the public eating
places. but in the individual homes,
where it first won its popularity, it
was again the favored meat, judging
from the unusually heavy sales re-
ported in the various meat markets
