Womon's Work Is
Never Done!

With Victory in Europe here and
the war in the Pacific progressing
satisfactorily to all but the Japs,
many will except an immediate cas-
ing of the difficulties in obtaining
food stuffs. We must not forget
however, that the war still goes
on with Japan, and while it lasts
we are apt to continue to find it
impossible to get all the foods we
wish when and as we wish them.
AS long as the war continues
there will be housewives, who in
addition to caring for their homes,
must also assist in relieving the
man-poWer shortage. Whether they
work on a shift at the mill, care
for office work or aid in the farm
program Of feeding the world, most
of these housewives will continue
to prepare the meals for the family
-'Womans work is never done!"
SO, though food is difficult to OBJ
tain and we can't promise the same
full service of pre-War days and
that we expect to give in the post
war era, we are doing everything
within our power to assist all
housewives with their food prob
lens. You will find the best food
we can obtain, priced right and
sold to you by market which al
ways appreciates your patronage.
