THE ROMANS had
a name for it
At our Hallowe'en time, the old Romans used to
hold a Festival of the Fruits. In early Britain, it
became the Hallow E'en, or Holy Eve ... a harvest
holiday in honor oS saints and martyrs. Today,
the Jack-o-'lantern pumpkins continues to sym-
bolize this ancient harvest festival. Harvest is
everywhere a period of gratitude and rejoicing.
But the American table is no longer limited
by the harvest season. In the pages of this news-
paper, advertisements tell you about good things
to eat that are available all the year round. Juicy
pineapples from glamourous Hawaii. Fresh celery
and ttuce. Creamy tomato soup. Boston baked
beans. And many other tempting foods.
Study carefully the advertisements in this
newspaper. They will guide you to the best
brands ... the products which millions of families
have found to be always pure, wholesome and
delicious. And they will save you time, money and
countless shopping steps!
