Drinkers Pull
In Their Belts

Coffee, coffee! Millions of
pounds - in Brazil, ......- ..... 49,
Coolidge coffee lovers must pre-
pare to take up another notch in
their belts, because Uncle Sans
stock is scraping bottom. The
shortage of ships to bring the cof-
fee from South America has
brought about a situation which
will give the old coffee pot much
needed intermittent vacation.
Coolidge grocer's shelves are be-
ginning to resemble the well
known cupboard of Old Mother
Hubbard, so far as coffee stock is
concerned. One of our leading
grocers. whose coffee sales aver
age 1000 pounds a week received
no shipment last week and only 30
pounds this week &. 1t is a far
cry from a good hot cup of real
coffee. to a camouflage cup of cof-
fee - but if we are going to have
| coffee with each meal, that's what
we are coming to.
Reports from all over the coun-
try indicate the shortage is every
where. so start your own rationing
program by getting your cups down
to demi-tasse size before you are
compelled to take it with an eye
dropper.
