take notice:
We will deposit one thousand or
fifty thousand dollars, to be covered by
a like amount from them, or any one o.
them, and If there was ever one ounce
Of old bread or any other ingredient
different than our selected wheat and
barley with 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 thru each month, inspecting every
department and every process. Our
factories are so clean that one could,
with good relish, eat meal from the
floors.
The work people, both men and wo-
men, 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 trenen-
dous elevators containing the choicest
wheat and barley possible to buy.
These grains are carried thru long con-
veyors to grinding mills, and there con-
verified into flour. Then the machines
make selection of the proper quantities
of this flour in proper proportion, and
these parts are blended into a general
flour which passes over to the big
dough mixing machines, there water
salt and little yeast are added and the
dough kneaded the proper length of
time
Remember that previous to the barley
having been ground it was passed
thru about one hundred hours of soak
ling in water then placed on warm
floors and slightly sprouted, developing
the diastase in the barley, which
changes the starch in the grain into a
form of sugar.
| Now after we have passed 1t into
dough and it has been kneaded long
enough, it is moulded by machinery
into loaves about 10 inches long and 8
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
secondary ovens each perhaps Is or
so feet long, There the food is sub
| iected to a long low heat and the
| starch which has not been heretofore
transformed, is turned into form OF
sugar generally known as Post Sugar.
1t can be seen glistening on the gran
ules of Grape-Nuts if held toward the
light. and this sugar is not poured
| over or nut on the food as these pre-
! varicators ignorantly assert. On the
| contrary the sugar exudes from the m
terror of each little granule during the
process of manufacture, and reminds
one of the little white particles of
sugar that come out 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 digest
| ible food known for human use. IL IS
/
so perfect in it's adaptability that moth
ers with very young infants will pour a
little warm milk over two or three
| spoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, thus Wash1ng
| the sugar off from the granules ana
| carving it with the milk to the bottom
of the dish Then this milk charged
| with Post Sugar is fed to the infants
| producing the most satisfactory re-
suits. for the baby has food that it can
| digest quickly and will go off to sleep
we'll fed and contented.
When baby gets two or three months
1 old it is the custom of some mothers
to allow the Grape-Nuts to soak in the
milk a little longer and become mushy,
vhereupon little of the food can be
fed in addition to the milk containing
the washed off sugar.
1t is by no means manufactured for
baby food. but these facts are stated
as an illustration of perfectly di-
4 gestible food. .
