Buying. Groceries Is i
C " . Daily Problem J
. ..-Vj.v .
Buying the groceries Is one of
. the housewife's - greatest tasks.
Most women after years of expert
ience accompanied; or course, by a
certain amount' of waste of timej
effort' and money, learn to hnj:
wisely,' but many of the yoongeif
women of today who marryan$
step from the business or; profesj
clonal world, into the position 'of
purchasing-; agentl for a; home!;
without' thcr opportunity of train-l
ing in buying; find the lesson the
learn, is often coittlyi ;. j if j

Marketing Is really of more -lmf
portance'than is usually attached
to this" pert" of,'1 the housewives
duties The same general sngges
tiona "apply to most. markets, al
though, of course, the locality will
greatly influence the ''buyer.
- .A" buying plan or carefully made
oht marketing list Is one; or thif
ffrst "essential. In doing the marf
keiing. and with this we would
suggest the housewife set aside $
certain portion , of her allowance
to be used only for food and theb
to Ve'i a 'close, account of whsii
she spends. J Tj'-V.. - -
She also must. know. brands anjd
know wbich foods gtre her the

make close observations she wii
soon learn upon what' brand
names she may depend. By keepi
Ing herself informed through adf
vertising mediae she will note de-i

often guaged by the quality of the
biscuit she, makes. The idea of
making light, tender; and flaky
biscuits that never" fall to please
