Get the Good... from vegetables (baked, canned, frozen)
Chart 5 of the Bureau of Home Economics 'Get the Good' set: Photographs of baked potatoes, canned beans heated in a pan and a block of frozen vegetables going straight into a pot, with tips such as 'Nature's jacket holds in the "good"' and 'Don't thaw first'. A household-instruction sheet; the persuasive device is faint and rests on the word 'good' and the Food for Freedom emblem.
