A Business Bank for 



Business Farmers 



This is a message for business 

 farmers — for those progressive 

 crop and cattle raisers who know 

 that to get profits from farming 

 there must be knowledge not only 

 of crops, but of markets, of prices, 

 of soil treatment, of other factors. 



This bank's primary object is to 

 help farmers of this section to pros- 

 per. Our complete banking facili- 

 ties and our dependable sources of 

 information valuable to farmers are 

 at your disposal. 



We'll be glad to serve you.

The habit of Saving 



Is at the bottom of most 

 big successes in the busi- 

 ness world. Begin the 

 habit by opening a savings 

 account with the Hayden- 

 ville Savings Bank. One 

 dollar is enough to start 

 with.

into compact work centers for prepara- 

 tion of raw food, cooking, serving, clear- 

 ing away and dishwashing, and any other 

 activites done regularly and often in the 

 kitchen. 



Arrange these groups from left to right 

 following the order in which the various 

 jobs are done. 



The kitchen is above all else a place to 

 prepare and serve food. Limit the kitch- 

 en to this u.se, if possible, and arrange 

 for laundering and such work to be done 

 in another place. 



HOW MUCH FOR FOOD? 



"How much should I spend for food for 

 my family?" is often asked. Before 

 answering a question like this, we should 

 have to ask — "What are the ages and 

 occupations of the members of the 

 family? What is the family income? 

 Do you have a cow, chickens, fruit, or 

 vegetables that you raise, and do you en- 

 tertain much?" It is a fact that laborers' 

 and ministers' families .spend more for 

 food in proportion to their income than 

 those of any other occupation. In the 

 laborer's family, the members are usually 

 all hard working people, and so require 

 large amounts of foods, and the minister 

 entertains a great deal. 



A family with a large income will be 

 able to have tomatoes, strawberries, cu- 

 cumbers, and other fruits and vegetables 

 out of sea.son. These will make the gro- 

 cery bill large. The small income family 

 will limit the out-of-season fruits and 

 vegetables. More cereals, especially the 

 whole grain cereals, can be used to ad- 

 vantage when the income is small. Many 

 people in Massachusetts live well on fifty 

 cents per person per day. It is possible 

 to live on less, and still feed the family 

 well. A safe rule to follow, regardless of 

 income is this : Divide the food budget in- 

 to five parts. That is, for each dollar 

 spent, twenty cents should be spent for 

 milk and cheese; twenty cents for meat, 

 fish and eggs ; twenty cents for vegetables 

 and fruits; twenty cents for cereals, in- 

 cluding bread, flours of all kinds, break- 

 fast cereals, cornstarch, tapioca, and all 

 cereal products; and twenty cents for 

 miscellaneous. The mi.scellaneous would 

 include fats, sugars, spices, and flavor- 

 ings. 



The two important things to remember 

 arc that as much money should be spent 

 for milk and cheese as is spent for meat, 

 and as much for fruits and vegetables as 

 is spent for meat. The amount spent for 

 cereals and miscellaneous may vary with 

 the income.
