A POTATO NEVER FORGETS
By George Rector
On page 4 of this week's Menu Sheet we are printing the twelve most popular
recipes for cooking potatoes. I don't suppose any of these recipes will be news
to anybody. But I'll warrant that most everybody will find one or two or more
methods suggested on page 4 that they haven't tried in a long time. And that's why I
induced the Kitchen Staff to publish, what seemed to them, very ordinary information.
Most of us get into the habit of frying, boiling, or mashing potatoes—and let it go at
that. Potatoes are such inexpensive and nourishing food that they deserve more variety in
cooking. Remember that your family eats potatoes every day in the year.

The appropriate end of the HEAVY MEAL
After the stews, the meat pies, the fat, rich

sweet which is refreshing and delicate pleases
the palate and speeds digestion. The fresh fruit
flavor and fruit acid of Sparkle make it the perfect
dessert to follow the heavy meal. Example:
Roast Fresh Pork
Candied Sweet Potatoes
Creamed Cabbage
Bread and Butter

(Any of the six flavors)
Sparkle CHOCOLATE PUDDING
The appropriate dessert for the LlGHT MEAL
When a simple meal suitable for young children
as well as adults has been served a nourishing

"I'll soon have those A & P
fellows on the run"
Bill has got the right idea. He knows that if he can give
his customers refreshments at prices they can afford to pay,
he'll soon be running several stores and giving us stiff
competition.
We're going to follow Bill's adventures during the next
few weeks, for this newest competitor has the same idea
we had 75 years ago. We knew that if we could give the
American people a variety and abundance of food at
prices they could afford to pay, our business would grow.
Our business has grown from one small store to many
stores, because, every year, millions of American women
have asked for our kind of food service—the service that
gives them better food in greater variety and at lower
prices.
If you're not already an A & P customer, we'd like to
include you in this service which so many of your fellowcitizens
have found useful.
