Buying snap beans avoid dry-look pods
When shopping for snap beans choose ones with firm vibrant pods and avoid any that appear dry wrinkled or shriveled. Inspect the beans for moisture and avoid those showing signs of dehydration to ensure freshness and quality.
Christmas Sales Hit Local Merchants Hard This Year
Bath Iron Works as local employer helped December sales reach highs last season but a strike and weak cash buying reduced holiday results. Stores with budget plans stayed even or up slightly, while cash only shops fell up to 20 percent. Unseasonal warmth and lack of Christmas spirit contributed to slowing winter goods and general retail outlook for early 1958.
