Grade Rice and Tapioca
Perfectly Sanitary

You know how rice is

Well, this fancy head CARROLL
ma Rice is put up in one
pound white cloth sacks. thus
escaping the many landings
and surplus dirt that the bulk
product is sure to catch.
Point: Rice of the highest
quality such as this never
touches hands or foreign mat
ter, and comes to your kitch
en- as clean and as when it
grew. 1t cooks large and
white. This is a new way of
selling rice and to introduce
it thoroughly this week we
arc selling 3 full one pound
sacks for Csc.
Best Pearl I'apioca we also
have put up in absolutely san
