ITO RECEIVE LADIES
Demonstration by National Biscuit
Company Tomorrow Afternoon
at Armory Hall.

A reception will be given AT Armory

TO be of most unusual interest to the
ladies of Rock Island and vicinity. In
line with its usual policy of doing
nothing by halves. the National Biscuit

l6e of biscuit, crackers and waters in
their superiority in a most unusual
way. regardless of expense.
In accordance with preliminary ar
engagements made some time ago. the
special exhibition and reception com
mittee of the National Biscuit company
is now In the city and active prepare
tions for the coming entertainment are
well under way. Special decorations
for the reception have arrived from
Chicago. and are now being arranged
by a corps OF decorators who accom-
pany the committee.
This reception has been arranged
to acquaint the ladies of Rock Island
with the possibilities of perfect baking
baking that is not only a science but
an art. Quite as important as perfect
baking is the protection of a package
which excludes the air. dust and moist
ure. which the National Biscuit com
pany gives it's products. thus Placing
them on the table as fresh and pure
as when they left the oven.
Until within a very few years. the
purchaser of biscuit. crackers or wa.
fers had no choice but to buy from
hNx ho rhonnnd
TO be clean when they left the bar
rel. they were more or less broken
by the time they had been carried
home I'm a paper bag. They were stale
or more so. depending on whether the
barrel had been open one day or many
Such was the condition which the
National Biscuit company determined
to overcome. and did overcome in the
production of Uneeda Biscuit. Made
of the best material the world affords
by methods Of baking that have been
brought TO an exact science, preserved
in their freshness and goodness by a
package that excludes air. moisture
and dust, Uneeda Biscuit is today the
supcrlative OF the soda cracker. and
the staff of life in million homes
Quickly following Uneeda Biscuit
came other delicious products of the
bakers art. perfected in the same
bakeries. and given the protection oil
the same package. Among these arc
the Oystcretts. Graham crackers. So
cial Tea Biscuit. and Zu Zu Ginger
snaps. All these and others have
their crisp righteousness assured tn the
consumer by the trademark of the
National Biscuit company on each end
of the package.
Two of the most delightful products
of the National Biscuit company are
Nabisco Sugar Waters and Festino AL
monds. These are delicious. either as
a CONNECTION, or as dessert.
The ladies of Rock Island and vi
cinity will find this reception a most
pleasant and profitable entertainment
Refreshments will be served under the
supervision of a French chef who &C
