Sugar
i
NEED FOR CONSERVATION
Instructions issued by United
Food Administration.
The sugar crop in the count
ries from which we draw our
supplies, as well as our own do
mestic beet sugar crop, has;
proved smaller than anticipat
ed,
Activity of submarines and
the rapid increase in the rate of
sending our troops to JSurope
have rendered the shipping situ
ation so acute that it is impossi
ble to dispatch ships to bring1
sugar from distant points..
The Food Administration hast
therefore found it necessary toj
adopt radical conservation mea-;
,sures for sugar and it counts on
the loyal support and assistance!
of merchants and the entire con
suming public.
The Federal Food Ac'minist ra
tors of the various* communities
are authorized to permit retail
ers to sell 8 pounds per month
for each member of the family &
to be purchased in quantities not
greater than 2 pounds at one
time except in the case of can
ning.
It is the intention of the Food
Administration to permit all su
gar necessary for canning and
preserving.
Therefore a permit will be
issued by the Administrator for
an amount of sugar not in excess
of 25 pounds and when this am
ount has bee"’ consumed for leg
itimate preserving purposes, a
like amount may be obtained
upon securing another permit.

SOME DAY Conditions are
going to be normal again.
When that time comes the Merchant will be re
membered by the trade for the character of the
Merchandise that he sold during the war, not by
the price that he charged.
As we cannot sacrifice Quality in favor of price
THE PRICES MAY CHANGE OWING TO CON
DITIONS OVER WHICH WrE HAVE NO CONTROL
- BUT THE QUALITY - NEVER.
