THE STORY OF GRAHAM FLOUR.

Graham -four Is so named from DR..
Sylvester Graham, who In 1929 frst
used and strongly recommended foods
made from unholted -four. The Graham
bread and crackers made in those DAYS
were coarse and unpalatable and were
eaten more as a dietary obligation than
as an enjoyable food.
But. In accordance with the theory
OF Or. Graham. foods made from this
-four proved 10 he very beneficial. The
digestion was strengthened--the ap-
petite improved-and the coarseness or
the -four had stimulating effect upon
the digestive organs.
The Graham foods, through expert
ment and skill became more and more
palatable until finally the real Graham
Cracker--the tempting food-was pro-
duced by the National Biscuit company.
Its flavor is that OF the sweet. nutty
kernel OF wheat. almost dessert
IL Is so rich and delicious. Used In
stead OF bread at any meal. II furnishes
an agreeable change. For lunch or late
supper IL satisfactorily takes the place
OF meats and heavy food and leaves
none OF their ill-effects. AS cereal
at breakfast. nothing can excel
Graham Crackers and cream.
The National Biscuit company
Graham -GracAerH- Are packed N no's-
ture and dust-proof boxes. keeping I'm
all their oven crispness. freshness and
flavor. When you open n box II is
equivalent to taking them from the
oven. and therefore Graham Crackers
should be served from the original
package TO be enjoyed at their best.
All grocers keep the Graham Crackers
