The Nom Absorbent Bread and Pastry
Board

In no part of the household realm has
such advancement been made, as in the
variety and production of convenient and
labor saving appliances for the kitchen.
a desirable BREAD AND PASTRY
BOARD is one of the most important
health and labor saving devices vet to be
introduced, asthe ordinary wooden board
is unhealthy, laborious and wasteful, and
in every respect unsatisfactory. Itthere-
fore gives the agent great pleasure to of
fer to the housewives of this vicinity the
patent Non-Absorbent Bread and Pas
try Board, the triumph of simplicity and
perfection, an ideal board on which to
prepare bread. pastry and other food.
It is hygienic and sanitary, having
highly polished metallic kneading and
rolling surface, microbes nor disease
germs cannot enter. 1t is easily and
quickly cleaned with a damp cloth. no
seraping nor securing being required, as
dough will not adhere to it, No more
flour is required than is necessary to tenn
per the dough. the good results of which
are well known, while butter, lard and
liquids can be mixed without being alb
sorbed. No bad odors from previous use
nor soft. fhrous surface to become rancid
and foul. Being extremely light and at
tractiveY it is acknowledged by all to be
superior to the heavy and expensive
slabs frequently used, thus making it the
only practical, non-a6sorbeut board
ever offered for domestic use
