In order to be prepared to can all varieties of fruit, vegetables, meats, 

 fish, etc., it is absolutely necessary to have a " Steam Pressure Canner," as 

 this is the only way you can be assured of perfect sterilization. A great 

 many vegetables and all meats require a pressure of 250 degrees Fahrenheit 

 for perfect sterilization, and the only way this can be attained is with 

 steam under pressure. Our " National " Junior No. 1, which is illus- 

 trated above, is particularly well adapted for canning in the home and also 

 for use by Government demonstrators. It will hold ten quart jars or 

 fifteen pints at one loading. Tin cans may also be used. With one of our 

 small canners you can put up enough fruit, vegetables, meats, etc., to 

 supply the table for the entire year at a great saving. 



A Few Reasons for Canning in Sanitary Tin Cans With 



The Burpee Home Can Sealer 



Marketable. 

 When canning 

 is done in the 

 regular market- 

 able size tin cans, much fruit and vege- 

 tables that now go to waste can be 

 canned and sold. 



Simple and Easy to Operate. The 

 machine is simple, inexpensive, easy to 

 operate and can be clamped to any table. 

 One machine can be used to seal the No. 

 2 (pint) and No. 3 (quart) size cans. 

 A separate machine is used for sealing 

 the gallon cans. 



Receipts, A book of reliable receipts 

 for canning fruit, vegetables, soups, meat 

 and fish is supplied with each machine. 



Costs Less, The cost of tin cans is 

 much less than glass jars and there is 

 absolutely no danger of breakage. 



No Loss. When properly sterilized, or 

 cooked, there is no danger of spoiling, as 

 the cans always seal airtight. 



Flavor Retained. The delicious flavor of the fresh fruits and vege- 

 tables is not lost when canning in tin cans, because the cans are sealed 

 airtight before the cooking is done. 



Reduces Labor and Fuel. By piling the cans one on top of another 

 when being cooked, twice the amount can be cooked in the same time.

" National " Aluminum Pressure Cooker 



The high cost of living 

 can be reduced materially 

 by the use of our Alumi- 

 num Pressure Cooker and 

 many hours of time can 

 be saved by the housewife 

 every day in the year. 

 The outfit is complete in 

 every detail and should be 

 a part of the equipment 

 of every kitchen. It is 

 made of highly polished 

 aluminum and the fittings 

 are all of high-grade brass, 

 which also adds greatly to 

 the appearance of the 

 cooker. The cooker may 

 also be used for canning 

 in small quantities. 



The steam gauge regis- 

 ters the number of pounds 

 pressure in the cooker at 

 all times and is absolutely 

 reliable. The petcock is 

 to create free circulation 

 of steam and should be 

 left entirely open until all 

 the cold air is forced out 

 of the cooker and steam 

 commences to pass off, 

 when it should be partly 

 closed. The special safety 

 valve, which is made 

 specially for use with the 

 " National " Pressure 

 Cooker, is adjustable so 

 that it can be set at any desired point and will automatically blow off the 

 excess steam so as to maintain the desired pressure for the necessary length 

 of time. This is one of the features of the " National " which will not be 

 found in any other style of pressure cooker. There is absolutely no danger 

 connected with the operation of it, and a complete receipt book, together 

 with instructions for operating, are furnished with each outfit.

" Thrift " Way 



" Thrift " Seals Them Tight and Keeps Them Right 



How many of the jars of vegetables 

 and fruits that you " put up " last 

 year spoiled? Canning experts state 

 that for every dozen jars packed, 

 processed and sealed the ordinary way, 

 two are lost. But not the Thrift 

 Way — because foods canned the Thrift 

 Way can't spoil. They are me- 

 chanically and hermetically sealed be- 

 fore cooking ; sealed just as the big 

 packers seal their jars for market- 

 with all the flavor and juices in the ' 

 jar. The Thrift Way is easier and 

 quicker, too. No uncertain tops or 

 rubber rings to bother with ; no hot 

 jars to handle. It isn't the number 

 of jars you " put up " its the jars 



that keep that count. That is why so many women who can foods for 

 home or market are using the Thrift Way. 



" Thrift " Way Jars Are Extra Strong 



Thrift jars are made of the finest clear flint glass. They will stand 

 unusual extremes of heat and cold ; and constant use for many years. 

 Made in two sizes, quart and pint and a quarter with wide mouths making 

 them easy to fill and clean. 



The "Thrift" Sealer 



A filled jar (filled only to within one-half inch of the top) is placed 

 in sealer, with patent cap on mouth of jar. Lowering handle of sealer 

 presses head of sealer over cap and mechanically " crimps " cap on mouth 

 of jar ; sealing it airtight — hermetically. As an extra precaution lift handle, 

 give jar a slight turn and again press down handle, giving the jar an extra 

 sealing. No strength or skill is required to seal the Thrift Way ; a child 

 can do it perfectly. 



1% Pint Thrift Jars and Caps $1.15 per dozen.. 



1 Quart Thrift Jars and Caps $1.40 per dozen. 



Extra Thrift Caps per box of 6 doz., $2.10. 



Thrift Sealer $2.50.
