The saving to New Britain meat eaters has probably been less than §15,000 a month. figuring on the national sav- ing. and this split up among families would mean a saving of about one dollar a month to each family.

Beef is lower in cést to the con- sumer, for the medium and lower grades of beef. but for the choice cuts, the consumer still has to pay very near the standard prices that have been charged since the war. There will be no drastic reduction of beef prices to the poor families. There will be some stores, with a lower overhead than some others, that can sell good beef for prices ranging from 20 to 40 cents a pound, and it will be to these stores that the housewives, hard hit by the in- dustrial depression, will probabls Bo for their pot roast, stew meat and | liver ain, these cents a STRICTLY FRESH—31%.4 ib Ave. FOWL 16-18 1b Average—PURITAN HAMS Whole or Shank Halves GENUINE SPRING LEGS OF b 29 LAMB FANCY CUTS CHUCK ROAST FANCY SUGAR CURED BOILED Greater . . . with Calumet. .. because it acts twice!
