INSIDE THE GROCERY.
Some facts Wade Known.

II Is often thought that grocers really
have very little care regarding the food
value OF the articles they sell, but the
real facts are that grocery keepers Of
the right sort are extremely particular
as to what they recommend.

breakfast
Along in 80 a wholesale grocer urged
me to put IN some Postum Food Coffee

now famous Postum was not so wen
known.
He urged me TO try II myself. which

the use OF Postum IN my home ever
since We use II for breakfast, dinner
