Give them your patronage
: We clip the following from last week S
n Belding Banner in regard to lightning
@ yeast: Many housewives i'll the city
|. have had varied and exciting experiences
: the past week or two with lightning
r yeast. There is nothing that so delights
q the queen of the kitchen as to have a
|. yeast that will set bread a raising so fast
!. that it will upset flatirons or whatever
:. weight they may endeavor to hold ii
@ down with. A fellow came along re-
/ Gently selling bottle full of yeast for
/. half dollar and very few families es-
d capped his persuasive tongue without
@ purchasing. The remarkable thing
IS about the affair in these days of fakes
: and frauds and schemes is the stuff is
r genuine and will raise bread sky high
f 1t has lightning in it and many kitch
q ell, bread board, mixing pan and in fact
4 anything in the room when the bottle is
Y opened has got dose of the liquid. Al
: experience social on lightning yeast now
would yield a good revenue.
