ERE is 

 the most con- 



venient and practical 

 way to practice food and 

 fuel conservation. With 

 Conservo you may can 14 

 quart jars of fruit or vege- 

 tables at one time — with Conservo you can cook an 

 entire mea l at one time — over one burner of your stove 



Conservo 



Conserves Fruit— Vegetables— Fuel— Food— Time 



It conserves, serves and saves. No 



housewife can afford to be without it. 



In canning, a new delicacy 01 flavor is 



secured and the rare flavor of fresh 



fruits and vegetables is retained. In 



cooking the food is cooked in its own 



moisture. No water necessary. 



Thus saving the valuable mineral 



salts and juices. 



The fuel saved by Conservo will 

 pay for it in a short time. And 

 the worry and watching of 

 cooking is eliminated. 



Here is one of the many testimonials 

 received: 



The "Conservos" we recently or- 

 dered from you are so satisfactory 

 that I would like to have you ship 

 two more by express to our 

 president, Mr. Charles Lath- 

 rop Pack, Lakewood, N; J. 



Yours very truly,
