both the shipment of orders and the packing of orders are a

The Good Old Days 
Nearly every great sacrifice, such as our war effort, 
has some immediate, and often overlooked, reward. 
Folks used to have a lot of fun growing their 
own gardens of fruits and vegetables to eat, and 
flowers for decoration. This is one profitable 
pleasure that you need no priorities to obtain dur- 
ing these war times. Not only will you enjoy grow- 
ing fresh fruits and vegetables for your own table, 
and flowers for your satisfaction, you will be help- 
ing the war effort by actually creating foodstuffs 
and sustaining high morale. 
You won’t wear out your automobile tires grow- 
ing a garden. So hop to it, folks. Plant a big vic- 
tory garden—egrow a lot of fruits and vegetables 
next year and bring back the pleasure of the good 
old days.
