Now let all these choice specimens
take notice.
We will deposit one thousand or
fifty thousand dollars to be covered by
like amount from them, or any one of
them, and ii there was ever one ounce
of old bread or any other ingredient
different than our selected wheat and
barley with a little salt and yeast used
in the making of Grape-Nuts, we will
lose the money.
Our pure food factories are open at all
times to visitors, and thousands pass
through each month, inspecting every
department and every process. Our fac
tories are so clean that one could, with
good relish, eat a meal from the floors.
The work people, both men and wom-
en-, are of the highest grade in the state
of Michigan, and according to the state
labor reports, are the highest paid in
the state for similar work.
Let us tell you exactly what you will
see when you inspect the manufacture OF
Grape-Nuts. You will find tremendous
elevators containing the choicest wheat
and barley possible to buy. These
grains are carried through long convey
ers to grinding mills, and there convert
ed into -four. Then the machines make
selection of the proper quantities of this
-four IN the proper proportion and these
parts are blended into general -four
which passes over to the big dough mix
| ing machines, there water, salt and lit
! tie yeast are added and the dough knead-
ed the proper length of time.
Remember that previous to the barley
having been ground it was passed
"a h,,,, nt
soaking in water, then placed on warm
| floors and slightly sprouted, developing
the diastase in the barley, which changes
the starch in the grain into form OF
sugar
Now after we have passed it into
dough and 1t has been kneaded long
enough, it is moulded by machinery into
loaves about Is inches long and or
inches in diameter. 1t is put into this
shape for convenience in second cooking
These great loaves are sliced by ma
chinery and the slices placed on wire
| trays, these trays, in turn, placed on great
steel trucks, and rolled into the second
airy ovens, each perhaps Is or so feet long.
There the food is subjected to long low
heat and the starch which has not been
heretofore transformed Is turned into a
Sugar II can be seen glistening on the
granules of Grape Nuts If held toward
the light, and this sugar is not poured
over or put on the food as these prevari-
Gators ignorantly assert On the con-
trary the sugar exudes from the interior
of each little granule during the process
of manufacture, and reminds one of the
little white particles Of sugar that come
ont on the end of a hickory log after
it has been sawed off and allowed to
stand for length of time.
This Post Sugar is the most digestible
food known for human use. 1t is so per
feet in its adaptability that mothers with
very young infants will pour a little
warm milk over two or three spoonfuls
of Grape Nuts, thus washing the sugar on
