Turkey and dressing, mashed po-
tatoes, cranberries, and pumpkin
pie ale traditional for Thanksgiv-
ing, and a lot of local families will
be building their holiday menu a
round these favcr:tes
Prices quoted on turkeys this
year at one local market were: SO
cents pound for 10 to 13 pound
birds; SO cents a pound, 13-to-20
pound birds; 80 cents a pound, 20
pound birds and over. There is less
difference in the price of cranber-
ries than any other item on the
menu.
Twenty years ago SIS brought
home a huge bird that made left
overs for a week of family meals.
Chickens 20 years ago were ad-
vertised at Is cents a pound, and
ducks at 10. You could buy raisins,
for your holiday cooking, at ten
cents for Is ounces. Walnuts were
% cents a pound. A quarter bought
two No. 3 cans of pumpkin. Five
pounds of flour cost 80 cents. APP
pies were five pounds for 10 cents,
the ads quoted.
If you exhausted your budget
for Thanksgiving splurge, you
could stock up on cheaper meats
for the rest of the week. Hamburg
was three pounds for 25 cents Gas
compared to 80 cents pound in
1884; pork chops, II cents; round
steak, Is cents; pork steak, II
cents.
Coffee was II cents a pound
You could buy whipping cream for
a quarter quart if you went out
in the country after it. Dates were
two pounds for % cents, as COM
pared to 35 cents a pound as ad-
vertised this year.
But 20 years ago Mrs. Port Clin-
ton couldn't do what a good many
smart housewives are doing this
year preparing much of their
Thanksgiving dinner in advance
and keeping it in the family freez-
er.
And the family won't have TO
eat turkey steadily for week
after the Big Day, either. Mama
will cannily put left overs in the
freezer, to bring out at some later
date when turkey again will be a
treat instead of a Surfeit.
