More Milk Cuts
Table Bills
One keen La Grande lady with several children
has recently put into practical use the theory that
all experts have come to recognize, namely, that
wholesome milk is just the thing to cut high cost
of living.
This particular lady buys twice the amount of
milk she used to, but the saving on other foods
is greatly in excess of the added milk bill.
Then, too, her family is consuming a more whole
some foodstuff than before.
Every housewife in La Grande is urged to work
out the same savings for herself. The P. M. & C.
company will explain just who and why the saving
results.
