Recently, at the suggestion of an
atheistic society, the Gideon Bibles
were removed from the rooms of a
600 room hotel. The first night
there were over 200 Inquiries as to
where the Bible could be found, and
so the management placed them
back into the rooms again. There
are three hotels in New York which
provide chapels where people may
worship privately and go for medi-
tation.

:. and hotc dairy farmers get larger
share of each dollar these mothers spend
From 1920 to l934-as the depression
shrank peoples incomes - the average
American family was forced to get along
on less fresh milk each year.
Ii made people see, as never before,
that the oId-fashoned method of mar
ketine food was wasteful, costly.
II spelled bad times for dairy farmers.
(Only i'm 1885 has consumption OF dairy
products begun TO climb up again IN
most areas.)
I'm order TO give their children more
milk, butter and eggs, many Western
mothers turned to their neighborhood
Safeway grocer. His dairy product sales
mare been increasing every year!
For the Safeway method makes it pos
sible TO sell these vital foods at lower
prices. Sideways method eliminates
wasteful, extra handling costs.
Lower retail prices help the people
who trade at Safeway stores to afford
enough milk, butter and eggs to keep up
family health.
This increased consumption increases
the farmers income, too. Because the
Safeway family pays the farmer his full
market price for every quart your Safe
way grocer sells.
