"The House that Satisfies" 



SCARCITY OF FRESH VEGETABLES 



Why American and other housekeepers 

 hving in Havana and its suburbs cannot get 

 fresh vegetables and fruits when they can 

 so easily be grown in the island is a question 

 answered thusly by Modern Cuba of Havana: 



"The blame, the reason and the solution 

 lies as much in the power of the would-be 

 consumers as it does with growers; neither 

 the one nor the other has an organization 

 or even the semblance of a co-operative 

 society. While on the other hand, the 

 wholesale and retail grocers and peddlers 

 are in combination and have at least an 

 effective understanding with the cooks and 

 servants of households and hotels. The 

 majority of the help get so much a day, 

 week or month to run the house and make 

 their own salary so the more cheap stuff the 



cook buys on the market, the more soup 

 and stews he can make for the money; not 

 only that, he gets a good rake-off from the 

 sellers besides. No matter if vegetables 

 and fruits are culls, as most of them are, it 

 seldom shows in the soup or stew as it is 

 served. These same cooks and servants 

 do not encourage fancy vegetables, nor do 

 they encourage serving tomatoes in the 

 raw state, because that would call for nice 

 American tomatoes in first-class condition 

 and they, of course, would cost extra and 

 cut down his revenue. 



In short, it is against the principles of 

 the average cook of a household to serve 

 first class goods, if bought by himself. They 

 tend to reduce his revenue; if furnished by 

 the household it is liable to be taken as a 

 reflection on the part of the one who is sup- 

 posed to furnish the service and more than 

 once has been the source of trouble with the 

 servants. 



NEW ELECTRICAL PLANT 



Plans are now in hand that will lead to 

 the estabhshment of an electrical plant in 

 Nueva Gerona, Isle of Pines, and a consolida- 

 tion with the present ice plant. It is the 

 intention of the company to extend its 

 service to all parts of the island.
