MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY. DECEMBER 31, 1933.
BREAD AND CAKES LIKE MOTHER MADE
We Answer Some
Pertinent Questions
WITH the adoption of o many (new to Medford) safeguards to insure purity and
cleanliness of foods we have been asked a lot of questions. Some felt we were
too finicky, so many things have been done so long they just seem the natural
thing to do, so why change?
Others have asked about our methods of handling meats about substitutes in baking-
and many other special features, often advertised yet not fully explained.
Here, we hope, will be found the answers as well as other interesting food facts.
No. 1Why Shouldn't Meat Clerks Handle
Money? ,
Money cannot be clean. Carried in all sorts of
pant poekets, passing through all kinds of hands it's
really the dirtiest kind of dirt and your meat should
not be touched by one who has just taken money
from some other person.
We predict legislation against this germ carrying
custom at some future time.
No. 2 Why Health Certificates for Meat
Cutters?
We ourselves, feel safer if meat is handled by
men we know to be free from communicable disease.
This is compulsory in many California cities.
No. 3 What Is Meant by Aging Beef?
Of all meats beef has the finest flavor when
properly handled. It must be carefully pre-cooled
then held in an even temperature separate from all
other foods until the fresh animal taste is gone.
That is why we installed a special cooler large
enough for 40 steers. After these fine steers have
been held at least 10 days, the meat is free from
obsorption from other foods firm yet tender and
has that fine beef flavor possible under no other
conditions.
The largest retail cooler capacity in Medford is
required for this service, and it looks as though we
may have to increase it.
No. 4 Why Do You Handle None But
Steer Beef?
Fancy steer beef is cheaper and healthier for
you and your family. Cheaper because no tough
ends are left on the plates to be wasted.
Healthier because easier to chew and easier to
digest. With the tendency of children to chew in
sufficiently the better flavor of tender, properly
aged steer beef is of vital importance. Ask your
doctor.
No. 5 Why Is Country Sausage So Differ
ent from Other Sausage?
It isn't if the other sausage contains only good
pork and seasoning. There is no secret to making
good sausage. Simply use the better grade of pork,
season to suit the taste, leaving everything else out
and you will have delicious country style sausage
every time.
Good sausage is not only delicious, but econom
ical. There is no bone waste and good sausage won't
fry down so much that the price is high.
We are selling over 1000 lbs. of our fine country
style sausage every week.
No. 6 Why So Many Different Prices for
Hamburger?
Hamburger is a very good and justly popular
meat food. With prices far below the actual cost
of good quality dressed beef we must confess our
inability to answer this question. We do, however,
greatly enjoy eating good hamburger.
No.7 What Are Visible Scales?
Visible scales are scales with the computing
charts on both sides of the counter so that you, too,
may compute the cost of what you buy.
If you haven' learned to read them let us show
you. Mistakes are so easily avoided by the double
check.
No. 8 What Are Substitutes in Baking?
They consist of materials which partially re
place some of the old time ingredients used in bak
ing. Some are good, some are bad.
Some countries have passed laws forbidding
their use. If the Tugwell Food Bill becomes a law,
it may stop their use in the United States.
Bread is man's best food and most universally .
eaten. We feel that it should be as pure and whole
some as we can make it, hence leave out all the sub
stitutes and stick to the good old home formula.
No. 9 What Are Inspected Eggs?
Inspected oggs are eggs that are carefully examined
one by one to be sure of their freshness.
We have our own inspectors who test every,
egg with the best equipment science has provided.
Bad eggs often spoil other food ingredients
with which they are used also the cook's appetite.
Inspected eggs cost no more.
No. 10 How Can a Baker's Cake Be a ,
Home Style Cake?
Here we are again confronted with substitutes.
There is a synthetic substitute for most of he ingre
dients used in cake baking.
Pelieving goodness to be best for you and ulti
mately for us we use none. Inspected eggs, cream
ery butter, and Snider's fine whipping cream used
in conjunction with Betty Crocker recipes makes
ours equal to the best home made cakes.
No. 1 1 Why Do You Say So Much About
Z-MOR-U Coffee?
We have been a-sked this question very often.
The answer is supplied by the roasters of nationally
advertised brands of coffee... If stale coffee is as
injurious as they say it is you certainly want fresh
coffee.
There is only one way to be sure of it: Buy it
the same day it is ground Z-Mor-U is the finest
coffee we can buy, and when we ask you to buy it, we
feel we are rendering a real service.
All of Which Means This:
There is a lot more to the food business than just selling something to eat. Feed
ing your family is a grave responsibility for food means good or bad health,
good health is the key to real happiness.
Then there is thrift the first essential to financial independence. We have a
responsibility there, too. You must be able to save yet not deny your family
the very best foods.
To provide you with foods we would enjoy on our own table to sell them to you
at a saving in fact to make your problems ours is the only justification for our
business existence.
Mary:
Oh Tom, isn't it wonderful how our bank ac
count has grown since I began ordering from
the Super Market, and such good foods, too
It's so handy too, Tom... They deliver a
dollar order so I just phone them and
pay right here.
Tom:
Sure fine, Mary our food never was
so good and cost so little. And look at
the kids, Mary aren't they a picture
of health?
New Years Day
and Every Day
in the Year
New Year's day and every day in the
year your Super Food Markets are not
merely wishing but striving to bring you
and yours Health, Happiness and Pros
perity by the safe and sure way-Saving
without sacrificing quality.
