smokIns Meat without fire.

II may sound absurd to make a state
uent about smoking meat without q fire,
for it is a well known saying that where
there is smoke there must be fire." The
ADVANCE of science, however, has made
this idea obsolete, and today with the use
Of Krausers' Liquid Extract of Smoke il is
possible TO quickly, economically and sue
csssfully smoke meat without a fire. This
liquid extract is made by distilling the
smoke from hickory wood and is absolute
y harmless. In fact. meat smoked by this
method has a genuine smoke flavor, re
mains moist and soft, and is not infested
viii iiIIsSots. Every ODjSStion Of the old
method is overcome, every trouble ended
and the unsightly and dangerous smoke
house is a thing Of the past Krausers'
Liquid Extract of Smoke long ago passed
the age Of experiment, and thousands are
using it today with profit and satisfaction.
By writing z. Krauser & Bro, Milton, Pa,
bose who are interested can secure free OF
charge instructive printed matter about
methods of curing and smoking AL kinds
Of meats.
