The state flag of Missouri is flying in Vernon street today, July 7. What extraordinary event could possibly be celebrated? Maybe the greatest thing since sliced bread?
Sliced Bread !
On January 26, 1943, a letter appeared in the New York Times from a distraught housewife:
...............“I should like to let you know how important sliced bread is to the morale and saneness of a household. My husband and four children are all in a rush during and after breakfast. Without ready-sliced bread I must do the slicing for toast—two pieces for each one—that's ten. For their lunches I must cut by hand at least twenty slices, for two sandwiches apiece. Afterward I make my own toast. Twenty-two slices of bread to be cut in a hurry!”
Don’t you just feel so sorry for US housewives?
Nice!!............. But then I suppose it is preferable to slicing it oneself ?
