What is a Food Bargain?
No food is a bargain or a
body builder if it’s not eaten.
Extension specialists at The
Pennsylvania State
University suggest that you
make a collection of
economical, nutritious
recipes that your family
likes. Serve them often.
Introduce a new food product
now and then. Scan your
cookbooks and the food
pages of magazines and
newspapers for new low
cost recipes and ideas. A new
food often is well received if
you serve it with a family
favorite.
If you did what everybody does
at Christmas time, here's a
little help from us to undo it.
Everybody does it,
That is, everybody overspends a little
at Christmas. Then some of us find that
contending with the overspending be
comes difficult.
If you know what wc mean—from re
cent experience—here’s help: A post
holidays, bill-payer loan from Farmers
National.
Visit the bank soon, and talk with a
loan officer. (There’s one at both our lo
cations.) He’ll ask a few questions. After
which he’ll do his best to lend you what
you need at our low, installment rates.
Meaning that you’ll be paying off those
Yuletide obligations faster, with greater
ease and less worry.
Shouldn’t you, and everybody, do it?
