S. Department of Labor, shows that food prices now are very far below the high point of 1920 when they pushed above 180, and also below the figures throughout the 1920'. There is a job to be done, a big order, but it can and it will be done to the ultimate victory of these, our United States! War Is not pleasant but If war It has to be then let's do a thorough Job of It. Here at the Big T Super Market we know no more than you da but we assure you that every precaution will be taken to provide foodstuffs at prices in keeping with market conditions. While prices are much lower than during the last war as illustrated by the graph above, conditions are so much different than existed then that food prices are not expected to reach the price level that existed at that time. Food processors and food handlers are cooperating with the government to eliminate food pro fiteering during these dark days of warfare for our United States. The Big Y Super Market pledges to you that there will be no profiteering on foodstuffs in southern Oregon, that our sole aim will be to provide ample stock of foodstuffs at lowest pos sible prices. With two or three exceptions there la ne shortage on any kind of foods at the present time and excessive price advances are unwarranted. Purchase liberal supolies of the foods you like and need but excessive purchase of foodstuffs are not necessary at this time.
