MOTHER'S PANTRY
Cannot Compare With Our
Store House
In the old days a pantry heh! supplies for the fam- !
Lfor months. Then came changes in n.anner and
Imfthods of supplying food and Mother's pantry did
lid have to he so large nor so well stocked. *
'The modern grocery ston- displaced the pantry in
rt„y j,omes; for the folks in those hotnes got busy as
icialiits. One person does one thing; another person
jjy some other thing; antt in this way each becomes
gjrt proficient.
