circulator? and central furnaces'
are now available in very limited

four course meal by making use
of the canned foods she should
shortly find on grocery shelves.
Among he newt foods he listed
are such items as canned hamburg-
ers, canned bacon, seafood cock-

and women worked with magnificent
devotion to duty to give Allied arms
the petroleum products needed for vic-
tory. Now, when their skill and Hum-
hle's unrivaled manufacturing facilities

thus to publicly express its appreciation
to Humble workers for their ouUtand-
ing loyalty.
