Rubber rings in time becomes porous, decay, leak air, and frequently spoil the con? tents. Instead of a rubber ring the Economy has a pure, everlasting gasket attached to the cap and remains air tight forever. Food packed in these jars re? tain its original color and flavor, so that when an Economy Jar is opened years after, the food is just as fresh and lu cious as the day canned. One of the biggest things about this jar is the mouth, this is a great advantage in pre? serving whole fruit or vegetables. We handle other makes of jars, but we recognize the advantage of the Economy. Drop in and let us show you how this j;ir seals itself.
