grocery order. Not just canned goods, but
other foods, too.
Also, shop early in the week if you can
and when the store isn't crowded.
Make one trip do the work of several.
Every trip you don't make saves time It
saves steps, work, tires and gasoline. 1t gives
your grocer a fighting chance to give the
kind of service you want.
Then, to get right down to cases, we are
distributing, through grocers, hundreds of
thousands of copies of the Del Monte War
time Meal Palmer.
This little folder explains the whole plan
gives you permanent form for writing
out your own menus for full week. If your
grocer can't supply you, clip the coupon
shown below and mail to u.s.
And remember, when you run into short
ages of any kind it's up to all of us to adjust
our needs accordingly. No one can be selfish
now. We must work out the problem of using
what there is to the advantage of everybody.
Learn to "Switch and Swap!
In Del Monte, this is especially easy because
of the wide variety of foods under this one
quality label.
If you can't find Del Monte Pineapple at
your grocer's, for instance, it's quite possible
you may find he has Del Monte Peaches, or
Pears, or Fruit Cocktail. If he doesn't have
Del Monte Corn, perhaps he has Del Monte
Peas, or Green Beans, or Asparagus.
Learn to "switch and swap" and revamp
your menus around the Del Monte Foods your
grocer does have. That helps you-helps your
grocer-and you still don't sacrifice on flavor
or goodness.
Won't you try this whole plan? Think what
it can mean if you and 81 million other Amer
lean housewives get intellectually behind
movement that can help so nany-so much!
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1942-11-23

Our home folks with bigger pay checks
and bigger wartime appetites!
Who Takes 1t On The Chin?
Who's caught in the middle? Why, your
grocer.
He wants to give you the foods you want
That's what he's in business for.
But he has less to sell. Deliveries to him are
often slow and uncertain because the men and
machines OF war must move even ahead of
food. That's why you'll sometimes find empty
spaces on his shelves.
He's hard-pressed for help, too. And he feels
the pinch on tires and gas far more than most
of us do. Of course he can't come through
with the service he used to give you. 1t isn't
humanity possible!
What Can We All Do About 1t?
Your grocer can't work out these problems
all by himself. It's job we've all got to
tackle together.
On our part, we are dividing up, among
our distributors, what Del Monte Foods there
are-fairly and squarely.
But we as producers, are doing much more
than that. Right now, in the big national mag
azines, we are introducing brand-new war
time shopping program based on the broad
plan of
HELP FOR THE CONSUMER
HELP FOR THE GROCER
HELP FOR THE WHOLE COUNTRY
through the intelligent cooperation of all.
We call this the Del Monte "Buy-for-a-
Week. plan. And it's based on just the kind
of cooperation are talking about.
All you have to do is plan meals ahead-a
week in advance Then buy as many as pos
sible of the foods you need for week in one
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1942-11-23
look at the Tough Spot your Grocer is in!

1t isn't just the holiday rush! 1t isn't more
customers, big orders and lots of them!
No! Your grocer's problems today are far
more serious than that.
Already he's beginning to face shortages Of
certain foods.
Not that there won't be plenty to eat!
But we're certainly not going to find the
same lavish assortnents and the big displays
we've been used to. We won't be able to pick
and choose with the same pre-war freedom.
We're not going to like that. None of us.
We may even be annoyed and impatient.
So, when your grocer says, Sorry, I'm all
out" or, Il hope to have what you want next
week-it ought to be in" how should you
take it?
In the name of fair p1ay-don't blame your
grocer. Instead, remember
IT IS NOT YOUR GRocER's FAULT. 1t is
not the packers fault. Nor the growers. 1t
isn't anybody's fault.
It's Just Plain War
That's what the trouble is! Last summer,
for instance, Del Monte put up more fruits
and vegetables than ever before. We filled
every can and every glass jar we could handle
and still keep Del Monte Quality right up
where it always has been.
This called for teamwork all along the line.
We needed all the help we could get So even
our statesmen pitched in: Stenographers traded
typewriters for canning tables. Week ends
meant workout work meant more food for
you.
Even at that-it wasn't enough.
America has more hungry mouths to feed
than ever Millions more! Our fighting men
at home and all over the world. Our allies!
