A stranger entered church in the
middle of the sermon and seated him
self in the back pew. After while he
began to fidget Leaning over to the
white-haired man at his side, evidently
an old member of the congregation, he
whispered:
''How long | as he been preachine?'
''Thirty or forty years, | think the
old man answered. 81 don't know ex

The mountainous waves threatened
to engulf the struggling ship at any

them, in the hope that they would make
known his distress to some passing
ship.
Amid the rockets red glare a tall,
thin, austere individual made his way

1t costs half what cream costs,
yet it's as thick as cream.
Reduce it to milk, by replacing
the water, and it costs per quart
about what your milkman charges.
But there is no waste. You
open a can when you want it.
You buy no more than you use.
For cooking. for milk dishes,
for candy, the flavor that you get
from Van Camps will surprise you.
Never do you get from milk
mans milk any such deliciousness.
Not because we have added
anything, for we have not.
1t is because you get here, for
the first time, the full richness of
milk as it comes from the COW.
You get all of the butter fat,
all of the solids.
You don't get that from milk
that has stood for while. You
get only part of the goodness.
You will not cook again with
milkman's milk when you taste
the flavor that you get from Van
Camps.
When you drink Van Camps
cold, it has a distinctive taste due
to sterilization.
1t is not quite like raw milk,
but you'll like it.
But for cooking or coffee
where you heat the milk anyway
this flavor disappears. You
have only the favor that comes
from exceptional richness.
We publish an excellent cook
book, showing the exact cost of
all sorts of milk dishes. Please

Madam, Try this Milk.
Don't let any mistaken ideas rob you of
all these advantages.

Perhaps you think of Van
Camps as condensed milk. 1t is
not.
Condensed milk contains sugar.
You can't use it for cooking.
Van Camps is simply rich
Holstein milk. with two-thirds
the water evaporated.
Nothing is altered, nothing
added.
We simply reduce the bulk,
then sterilize it to preserve it.
1t comes to you thick as thick
cream.
You will never again depend
on your milkman after you try
this milk.
Nobody ever does.
The only trouble is that we
can't make enough of it.
We have diaries now in FIVE
states, and milk 10000 cows.
Yet the milk is so wanted,
where it is known, that we adver-
tise in only limited territory.
The reasons are these:
Van Camps is perfectly sterile,
while your milkman's milk has
myriads of germs in it.
Our cows are healthy. Experts
inspect them to guard against
anv chance of infection.
Our diaries are sanitary. We
make a business of cleanliness.
What do you know about other
milk that YOU buy:
Van Camps is convenient. 1t
gives YOU cow in your kitchen.
Rich milk or cream, always on
hand, to use little or much, as you
need it.
Van Camps is economical.
