Ancient Egypt
Knew the Virtues of the
liking of Foods"

Since the earliest annals of Old
Egypt, wheat has been recognized
as the king of foods.
It has held its sway down to the
present day, Notwithstanding the
fact that in many forms of making
wheat into food products, some of
the best elements are lost.
Bread has been aptly termed "the
staff of life" as it alone of known
foods has all the elements that are
needed to sustain life.
Egg=O=See contains all the
best elements of wheat in far more
healthful and delicious form than
any bread, crackers or ordinary
wheat foods. In addition to the
best whole wheat delicately faxed
and crushed, it is made still more
digestible by the addition of refined
diastase, the highest grade of malt.
There are no premiums or gifts in
the Egg=O=See package; nothing
but full measure of the highest
grade of cereal food in the world.
