the very best time that ever was, and are

A SPLENDID FOOD TOO
SELDOM SERVED

In the average American house
hold Macaroni is far too seldom
served. 1t is such a splendid food
and one that is so we'll liked that
it should be served at one meal
every day. Let it take the place
of potatoes. Macaroni has as
great food value as potatoes and is
ever so much more easily digested.
Faust Macaroni is made from richly
glutinous, American grown Durum
wheat. 1t is every bit as finely fla
vored and tenderly succulent as the i'm
