Marketing with Marjorie

Whether you've been married ten days or ten years, the "marry" month of June is a good time to serve better meals to your "better half." And one way to do it (and make your really good feed coffee! It's easycial budget, to boot) is to shop regularly at your thrifty A&P. MIGHTY NICE WITH ICE I don't think there's anything more delicious under the sun than really good iced coffee! It's easy to make, too, when you use A&P COFFEE. Select one of these three blends...EIGHT O'CLOCK, RED CIRCLE or BOKAR . . . in the bean. Have it (that's how A&P COFFEE is always sold to keep its freshness), and have it Custom Ground exactly right for your coffeepot. Make your coffee double strength, pour it over ice, and serve. PEACHY PRESERVE TREAT ANN PAGE PRESERVES (available only at A&P) are so luscious I'm forever inventing more ways to enjoy them. Here's my latest; Fill cavities of 12 peach halves (fresh or canned) with 1/2 cup of chopped nuts mixed with 1/2 cup of ANN PAGE PRESERVES. Press halves together and chill. Heavenly topped with whipped cream and served over 6 cake slices. FOR FLAVOR YOU'LL FAVOR When a recipe says, "Season to taste," I have to guess at the quantity of spices to use. But I never guess at their quality. I make sure it's high by choosing ANN PAGE SPICES at the A&P. This complete line includes many choice varieties of whole and ground spices . . . all dependably pure and attractively priced. Try them! ECONOMICAL AND EASY Counting pennies? Count on this cake to save them...and to be light and fine-textured, too, thanks to SUNNYFIELD CAKE FLOUR (sold only by A&P). Cream 1/4 cup shortening and 7/8 cup sugar; add 1 egg and 1 tsp. vanilla; beat well. Sift together 1 1/2 cups sifted SUNNYFIELD CAKE FLOUR, 2 tsps. baking powder and 1/2 tsp. salt; add alternately with 1/2 cup milk. Pour into greased and wax-paper-lined 8-inch square pan. Bake in moderate oven, 350°F., 30 to 35 minutes.
