Housewives Can Profit From Home Canning This Winter
Households can profit by putting up fruit with pure cane sugar at low prices. No special equipment needed and stocked jars will pay for themselves come winter. Homemade jams and jellies add value to the cupboard, aid menu planning, and supply a nutritious addition to children’s meals. The Sugar Institute invites readers to contact Shenandoah Iowa for information and a free jar.
