1t was rainy weather, but that did
not matter. In doors it was bright
and cheerful at the Park Hotel. Dec
orations of bunting in the lobby and
dining room, stands of palms and
ferns, a brilliant assemblage of the
ladies of Raleigh and joyous strains
of music all were parts of a brilliant
event that will make the visit of the
representatives of the company a
long remembered one.
The crowds of ladies who attended
the reception given by the National
Biscuit Company at the Park Hotel
yesterday afternoon were most agree
ably surprised at the lavish prepara7
ton that had been made for their
entertainment 1t would seem that
everything that could add to the COM
fort and pleasure of the guests had
been anticipated and Provided Sor
The hall had been superbly decorated
for the occasion, special material hav
ing been sent from New York for the
purpose, and arranged by a corps of
decorators, who accompany the recep-
ton committee.
Daintily served refreshments includ-
ed many of the delicious products of
the National Biscuit Company, served
excluding all air, dust and moisture,
so effectually preserve the purity and
goodness of their contents. Among
them were Uneeda Biscuit, Oysterettes
Butter Thin Biscuit, Graham Crack
ers, Social Tea Biscuit, Zu Zu Ginger
Snaps and others.
An attractive feature in the charm
ngly decorated dining room was the
big clock made from the packages of
the National Biscuit Companys pro-
ducts The dial was made up from
the words "Nabisco Waters, the letter
| being for II and the F for 6.
Levin's Orchestra discoursed sweet
music and the scene was a brilliant
one. During the afternoon there We're
Sic visitors to the reception, and each
was given a feast. A souvenir, this a
unique paper cutter, with the liner
Seal boy in his water proof as the
handle was given each guest, and also
a souvenir button.
The reception was a striking lesson
to the guests in one respect 1t
thoroughly exploded the idea of buy
ing biscuit, crackers and waters from
an open box or barrel, and having
them delivered, more or less mutt
lated, in paper bag. 1t is explained
that no matter how perfect a biscuit
may come from the oven, it loses it's
freshness, by exposure to the air, even
for an hour. Only by giving it the
protection of q package which ex-
cludes 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 q biscuit, cracker or wafer to
suit and best of all, they can be pur-
chased any time, anywhere and are
always fresh. In the purchase of
these products the trade mark of the
National Biscuit Company on each
end of the package is always an abso-
lutte assurance that the contents are
not only the very perfection of the
bakers art, but that they are always
pure, always good, and have had alb
solute protection from dust, moisture
and handling from the time they left
the oven until they reached the con-
sumers hands.
Nabisco Sugar Waters and Festino
Almonds were also served. These are
two CONNECTIONS of such unrivaled
delicacy and deliciousness as to vir-
tually form a class by themselves.
They are delicious and stand in the
same class as the most popular brands
of CONNECTIONS They melt in the
mouth in their fragrant crispness, and
are a joy forever. The daintiness of
these, and the admirable way i'm which
they were packed are noticeable fea-
lures.
Taken altogether the reception was
a pronounced success, and as the
guests departed expressions were
heard, indicating that they had re-
ceived not only pleasant entertain
ment, but profitable information as
well. From all came words of praise
and commentator of the various bis
cults, crackers and waters made by
the National Biscnuit Company The
affair, carried out successfully in every
particular was a greatly enjoyed one.
