4-H Muscadine Jam, Made by North Carolina Girls, Enjoyed on Trains, March 25;1920

From the editorial page of the Alamance Gleaner, Graham, N.C., March 25, 1920

Scene: A dining car. Two men, on eating cheese, jam and crackers with such evident enjoyment that the other asks the waiter to bring him some of the same. After sampling it, he remarks that it puts a fine finish on a meal.

“Yes,” replies the other, “but did you notice the label? The label reads 4-H brand muscadine grape paste. That’s put up by the North Carolina girls’ clubs, and the 4-H stands for Head, Hand, Heart and Health,” says the first man.

“That’s great jam,” says the other. “You North Carolina folks ought to write to all your friends and tell them not to miss this grape jam when they are traveling south. That’s something to be proud of, and I’m going to spread the word among my friends so they won’t lose out on it.”
