Pure and Impure
Lard.

H..
There is about as much difference in the
kinds of lard as there is in -four. By many,
no attention is paid to the grades of lard, buy
it as they would oats or corn, II II looks white
it is good.
Now, as good lard can be made in Toledo
as in Napoleon, and am liberal enough 10
believe that if you order of a reliable firm,
kettle rendered leaf, you will get 1t, but the
trouble is with price list like this of Armour
d Co.'S, Dec. 9Th;
Lard refined. .............. .............6c
Lard cnolce.. ........a.. ....................tI
Lard kettle rendered. d..........7c .7c
There is some possibility of the average
grocer buying the cheapest grade, as he well
knows that in looks it is as good as the best.
Now this lower grade is made by steaming
the offal, making the greace thus extracted
Refined" lard.
We have no steam fixtures. We buy only
good hogs and render all in kettles, and we
are open and invite public inspection every
day. Each year we ship our lard to private
families in Defiance, Toledo, Sandusky, etc.
The cheapest and best way is to order enough
to last your family year at the present low
prices, then You can be sure of having pure
lard to use.
Part of the grccsrs keep our lard; when
time and space permits, list of them will
be given. Last year one prominent grocer
sold our lard all summer from one 5Olb. can.
Plenty of country lard is for sale, this is gem
orally good, farmers wives sell the exit" lard
first. Truly yours,
Il. R. CowDRIoK.
