EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Bite of History: Affordable Nourishment - Paper Rolls and Corn for a Quarter in 1936 Manchester, New Hampshire 2.. Step back in time with this evocative photograph capturing the essence of a bygone era. The image, taken in September 1936, portrays a grocery store window in Manchester, New Hampshire, displaying two enticing offers that would have been music to the ears of budget-conscious shoppers during the Great Depression. The sign in the window reads, "PAPER - 9 rolls for 25 cents," and "CORN 14 1/2 cents." The simplicity of the sign, combined with the worn appearance of the storefront, transports us back to a time when every penny counted. Paper rolls were a staple in American households, used for a variety of purposes, including wrapping food, packaging, and even as makeshift bandages. The affordability of nine rolls for a quarter would have been a welcome relief for many families trying to make ends meet. Beside the paper rolls, a separate sign advertises corn for 14 1/2 cents per pound. Corn was a common ingredient in American dishes, and its low price would have made it an attractive option for families seeking to put nutritious meals on the table. The image offers a poignant reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of the American people during a challenging time in history. This photograph, taken in Manchester, New Hampshire, in 1936, is a testament to the enduring spirit of frugality and the power of affordable nourishment. It invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the progress we have made as a society, while also acknowledging the importance of affordability and accessibility in our modern food systems.
