Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 281, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 December 1917 — Save Tin Plate. [ARTICLE]

Save Tin Plate.

The housewife will do her bit in the conservation of the limited supply of tin plate by soaking and cooking her own dried peas and lima beans in the kitchen and thereby releasing a proportional amount of tin cans for use in the packing of perishable foods, where they are greatly needed. Consumers are urged by the department of agriculture, to read labels of canned peas and lima beans carefully in order to see whether they are getting a fresh or a soaked dried product.
