Have you eaten Joan of Arc brands in your neck of the woods? It must be a geographical item, as I’ve never seen such a thing.

I don’t envy grocers nowadays, trying to keep their stores clean, their employees healthy, and their shelves stocked. But the lean WWII years also challenged grocers with government rationing lists. Here, this grocer attempts to label his stock with an accurate price in points. Can you imagine?

Housewives had to be thrifty, sometimes to the point of excess.
It was important to keep a sense of humor about the whole thing, as it is today.
Meanwhile, wearing a mask is too much to ask of some folks.

The world is full of selfish jerks who are too important to wear masks, too free to abstain from shooting illegal fireworks until 1am, too busy receiving unemployment checks and toppling statues and upset about syrup to ever make the kind of sacrifices they did back then.

I remember those beans from the childhood. I still buy them now to make Hoosier chili. The kind with meat and beans and tomato sauce.
