What if you had to hunt your
Thanksgiving Dinner?
In the early colonial days, our
forefathers had to hunt for their
Thanksgiving dinner.
Now we simply go to the telephone
and call up the grocery and the meat
market. The meat and other dinner
essentials are promptly forthcoming.
It's a great convenience. We are
personally thankful that we don't
have to go forth with a flint-lock to
provide the family larder with food.
It would be a hungry day for the fam-
ily if we did.
Isn't it fine, therefore, that we
have meat markets? Isn't it comfort-
ing- to know that we can call on any of
our local markets and grocery stores
here in Caldwell, and get what we want
for Thanksgiving Day?
Let it be turkey, chicken, or plain
roast beef, these dealers are prepared
for the Thanksgiving demand. That's
better, we think, than the uncertainty
of the hunt, even if game were as plen-
tiful as in the early days.
There are exceptionally good meat markets
and grocery stores in Caldwell. They are well
equipped. And they are all subject to government
inspection, a fact which offers constant protection
to public health.
