PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH * HOLD ANNUAL MEETING The Annual Congregational meet- recently Mr. Haskell, with the yearn- ing for pigs feet upon him, dropped into a shop on upper Broadway and purchased four. The Jesse James behind the counter charged him $1.35. The next day the four pigs feet tramped heavily, not on Mr. Haskell’s digestive appartus but on his mipd. So he sent an office boy around to Washington Market to find out just where his passion for pigs feet was leading him. He gave the boy a $2 bill and an order for four. The boy brought back four and $1.75 change. The Broadway bandit has stuck up Mr. Haskell for the last time. A similar margin is to be found in many of the things we buy every day. If through intelligent investiga- tion and careful buying, a saving of 27% cents apiece on pigs feet is pos- siblle, it becomes evident that a safe antidote to the venom of exhorbitant prices is in the hands of the purchas- ing public. invested in War Savings Stamps and to adopt a better scale of living than ever before and do so without sacri- ficing future prospects and security.
