Keep Accurate Record of Your
Food Costs This Week

Just Right
The High Cost of Living has become a serious thing. It must be reduced. It
can be. We, as a nation, have been eating too much of the more expensive foods
and too little of the good, old-fashioned, and more nourishing food Bread.
We want every housewife in and near Philadelphia to take part in this two
weeks9 test to answer the question,
How Much Can We Lower
the High Cost of Living?
For this week keep an accurate record of your
expenditures for food. Eat the same things
you have eaten during previous weeks same
quantities of meats, eggs, and just the same
quantity of Bread you have been using. No
more no less. This daily record, or the
record of the entire week, will determine what
your food is now costing you.
Now for next week! Begin with your pur
chase of food for Sunday, September 21st.
DOUBLE your quantity of Bread. Naturally,
you will correspondingly decrease your pur
chase of other foods, for the reason that you
will need less.
Throughout next week, continue to eat two
slices of Bread where you ate one slice before.
Again, keep an accurate record of your expen
ditures for food. Compare it with your food
costs for this week. The difference will show
you how much you can cut the cost of living
with Bread.
We know that an increased consumption of
Bread will materially lower the cost of living.
We know that the fine quality of BIG TOSTY
BREAD its pure ingredients, perfect baking
and delicious flavor will invite you to eat more
Bread (and enjoy it) than you ever ate before.
p
We want to give the result of this test the widest publicity,
and for this purpose invite housewives to write to us re
porting their success in this great economic demonstration.
Ask Your Grocer for the Booklet That Tells 32 Ways of
Using Big Tosty Bread to Reduce the Cost of Living.
