The Famous
Food
Delicacy
GrapG-Nuts.

Searching for some palatable. easily
prepared dish for breakfast, it is like an
inspiration TO come across Grape-Nuts.
No cooking is needed. The food can
be served instanter with little cream or
milk and the taste is that of the delicate
crisp sweet of grape sugar, to be seen
glistening on the small granules,
This grape sugar is produced from the
starchy parts of the grains and is
crystalized and deposited naturally dur
ing the processes Of manufacture.
The taste of Grape-Nuts is most cap
tivating. Don't let is lead you to eating
more than or 5 teaspoonfui.
The food is condensed and great
volume is not reqnifed.
