In Greensboro, England, a street
lamp was found lighted every morn

You can buy butter for Csc, CSC, soc,

You can buy two prints OF butter,
each weighing a pound, YET one will
contain more butter than the other.
That is the answer.
Do you know how butter is made?
When the butter comes" they stop
the churn. drain off the buttermilk and
then wash the butter IN water, drain it
and wash it again. Then they work
it-work out the water and buttermilk
work in salt. The more water that's
left in, the more salt that's added
the more weight TO the churnfu..
A pound of this butter weighs g
pound-no more, no less-but its not
all butter.
Hanford's butter is all butter.
When the butter comes" they wash
Il in the purest OF water. Then drain
and work all the water out of the but
ter. Then they work in just little

A pound OF Hanford's weighs no
more than a pound of any other kind
OF butter, but il contains more butter.
Buy a pound OF Hanford's. The paper
