We think not. Those who will
use seconds" in cooking ware scarce
ly stand first in intelligence.
All these aluminium utensils stand
FIRST in their grade, whether it be
cast aluminium or drawn aluminium.
For. all that glitters isn't aluminium
ware worth buying, dear Bride!
And the same is true of much
enamelware, because low-grade, light
ly coated enamelware cooking uten-
sils, that are Clipped or ready to chip,
aren't worth even as much as an
honest, unpretentious. shining, new
tin pan or even as much as an honest
old rusty tin pan.
For you at least know of it that
it's rustyl and can observe the dan
ger-signal and lay it aside, whereas
you don't see the tiny splinter of
glass that chips off the lining of the
kettle that's second, and gets into
the mashed potatoes or the stew.
And maybe you don't feel it; but
again, maybe you do!
Make note that many a piece of
cheap" cookingware has caused an
expensive illness.
