"SAVE MONEY ON MEAT"
WEEK THROUGHOUT THE U. S.
Department of Justice Announces
Dates for the Various States.
To Reduce Cost of Meats.

''The Department of Justice an
nounced today the dates of Save
Money on Meat Week in the various
states. During these weeks an effort
will be made to reduce materially
the prices of the cuts of beef pork
and lamb now in heavy demand by
showing consumers the advantage of
turning to those which are equally
nutritious but which cost much less
'The first Save Money on Meat
Week, which has been previously an
nounced, will be held from March %
to March q throughout each of the
following states:
Illinois Iowa
Wisconsin Indiana
Ohio Michigan
Pennsylvania New Jersey
New York
''The week beginning March 29
will be ~'Save Money on Meat Week
in:
Maine New Hampshire
Vermont Connecticut
Massachusetts Rhode Island
Washington Oregon
California
"The week beginning April 5 will
be Save Money on Meat Week in
the District of Columbia and the
following states:
Maryland West Virginia
Virginia Delaware
Kentucky North Carolina
South Carolina Tennessee
Mississippi Alabama
Arkansas Louisiana
Missouri
''The week beginning April IL will
be Save Money on Meat Week in
each oft he following states:
Texas Oklahoma
Kansas Nebraska
South Dakota Minnesota
North Dakota Montana
Idaho Wyoming
Colorado Arizona
New Mexico
'On each day of Save Money on
Meat Week some particular cut or
cuts of the inexpensive variety will
be featured and sold at low price.
Retailers who hitherto have not car
ried in stock some of the less costly
cuts because their customers did not
ask for them intend to lay in ade-
quate quantities Of such portions Of
meat. If the consumers will take
advantage of the highly nutritious
and palatable pieces of meat which
are relatively inexpensive, the saw
ing effected will be tremendous, and
the slackened demand for the cuts
now popular will result in lower
prices thereon.
"Under present conditions the
prices Of the choicest cuts are in
extreme instances fifty or sixty
cents higher per pound than the
price of other good, wholesome meat
from the same animal"
