"The gross margin seems to bo In tho

Ho relused to comment In any way on
tho possibility of the conference ordered
by Doctor Garfield, or on tho outcome
of such conference
He was also reticent about his ten
hour conference with A. S. Lcaroyd, a
close associate of Doctor Garfield, yes
terday. Ho described It as an Itinerant
conference dealing with the distribution
of coal to tho dealers.
He also expressed Ind'ffercnco to a
suggestion of Wes,t Philadelphia dealers
that ha tako steps to Insure drivers of
coal wagons wonting, on New Year's
Day. Ho said he expected to do nothing
with tho suggestion today.
Unless new deve'opments occur, tho
new coal prices will 'undoubtedly go In
to effect January 1. on the designated
date, ns Doctor Garfield declared tho
power to adjust .prices Is vested In Mr.
Totter.

But the public must not expect enor

Mr Garfield said. The Improvement will

"We liaye developed our railroad sys

Doctor Garfield, " a matter of cutting
rates and shipping by. Indirect routes.
The best way to bring about greater effi

cross shipment of clal and other mate

Armour Foods
For Meatless Days
IT used to be that people associated the name of Armour and Company only with the prep
aration of meats. Today, however, the intelligent housewife has come to realize that the
Armour name is synonymous with virtually every food she' needs for her table even
though the day be Tuesday. For, under the protection of this big name in foods, she can now
secure practically everything for every meal in the week including the Meatless Day!
SOUPS, fish, vegetables, fruits, condiments, bever
ages she can obtain them all under the guaran
tee of the Armour name and under the famous Oval
Latjel, which marks the top grade of each kind of
product.
Nor has it been mere chance that this is so. It
has been because Armour and Company, recogniz
ing the degree in which the Nation has looked to
them to safeguard its food supply, has shouldered
its responsibilities to the full.
Working With Hoover
"pHIS is more than a mere sudden backing up o
J- the Food Administration's program. The dic
tum of a Meatless Day each week has our hearty
support. Through intimate knowledge of condi
tions, Armour has long realized the need for con
servation of our national meat supply. As a matter
of fact, Armour advocated the need for Meatless
Days long before Mr. Hoover ordt .-d them. And
Armour made preparations to handle the situation
developed by this one-seventh decrease in the use of
meat. Indeed, the marketing of our Oval Label
Foods has been a step in the direction of increasing
meat saving.
For, the fact that the housewife is .able to buy
a variety of other dependable products of known
quality with an assurance of getting them at fair

prices is very positive encouragement to the con
sumption of other foods. Through the Oval Label,
she is enabled to do this. .
With the increased needJfor true values which
has become so apparent in the past year, the variety
of foods sold under the Oval Label has been consid
erably extended. Milk condensaries, vegetable pack
ing plants, fruit canneries, bean warehouses all
these and many others have been incorporated into
the Armour organization that they may have the
same economical management which has made it
possible for Armour to prepare and sell at a lower
charge on the dollar than any other industry deal
ing in necessities. r '
A Buying Guide
ALL this is important for housewives to under
stand the more so because they know with
certainty the values they are buying. For, as on
hundreds of Armour Products with which women
are already so familiar, the best grade of each of
these many new products added to meet the con
servation needs of war-time, will bear the Oval
Label.
Thus, the housewife buying under this famous
Label (the identification of top grade no matter on
