The crowds OF ladies who attended
the reception given by the National
Biscuit Company at Edwards Opera
House yesterday afternoon we're most
agreeably surprised at the lavish prep
aration that had been made for their
entertainment. IL would seem that
everything that could add TO the COM
fort and pleasure of the guests had
been anticipated and provided for.
The hall had been superbly decorated
for the occasion, special material hav-
ing been sent from Chicago for the pur-
pose, and arranged by corps Of deco
rators who accompany the reception
committee. Daintily served refresh
ments included many OF the delicious
products Of the National Biscuit Com
pany served direct from their pack
ages, which, by excluding all air, dust
and moisture. so effectually preserve
the purity and goodness OF their con-
tents. Among them were Uneeda Bis
cult, 0ysterettes, Butter Thin Biscuit,
Graham Crackers, Social Tea Biscuit,
~ IN Ginger Snaps and others.
The reception was a striking lesson
to the guests in one respect. 1t thor
oughly exploded the idea OF buying
biscuit, crackers, and waters from an
open box or barrel, and having them
delivered, more or less mutilated, In a
paper bag. II is explained that no
matter how perfecta biscuit may come
from the oven, II loses it's freshness,
10y exposure to the air, even for an
hour. Only by giving IL the protection
of a package whicL excludes all air,
dust and moisture, can the original
goodness, crispness and purity OF the
biscuit be retained,
The reception was also an illustra-
ton OF the wide range OF adaptability
of the products Of the National Bis
cult Company. For any requirement,
from the oysters to dessert, there is
always biscuit, cracker or wafer TO
suit, and best OF all, they can be pur-
chased any time anywhere, and are
always fresh. ia the purchase Of these
products the trade mark of the Ma
tional Biscuit Company on each end Of
the package Is always an absolute
assurance that the contents are not
only the very perfection Of the bakers
art, but that they are always pure, al
ways good and have had absolute pro-
lection from dust, moisture and hand
ling from the time they left the oven
until they reached the consumers
hands.
Nabeeo Sugar Waters and Festino
Almonds we're also served. These are
two CONNECTIONS Of such unrivaled del
icacy and delciousness as to virtually
form class by themselves,
Taken altogether the reception was
a pronounced success, aud as the guests
