WHAT get ROSY" MEANS
Explanation Of the Knight of Apitezos
Slogan.

The Get Rosy man was in Barre
yesterday. He represents the American
Cereal Company, of Chicago, which is
now running that series of curious ads
about the new food, Apitezo. In all
these ads you notice the words Get
Rosy" One of our reporters called on
the Cereal man to ask this question:
What the deuce do you mean by
that Get Rosy'f'
The man laughed. Eve mean, get
the color in your cheeks that stands
for good health" he said. "Our latest
food, Apitezo, is the greatest builder
of red blood in the world. 1t is made
Of the best selected grains. 1t is crisp,
ever fresh''
But why didn't you explain in these
ads that Get Rosy'?"
Because the best thing about Apitezo
to most people is its delicious flavor.
Here ut last is ready-to-eat food that
tastes good. While it is the most nu-
tritious of all cereal foods and is rich
in plant iron, it is not to be looked upon
as good for you so much as good to eat.
Seer
You don't care to call it health
food2'
Would you call a juicy tenderloin
steak or a perfect apple health food2
They are, you know. Now, Apitezo is
even more d health girer. It Is easily
digested by all, the strengthening quail
ties all get into your system--which
isn't always the case with and
at the same time there is more protein
in Apitezo than in the best steak more
than in any other food. There is a
good deal of plant iron-the kind one
and spinach-in Apitezo. And in spite
and spiach in Apitezo. And in spite
Of It being such d health builder, it's
