AS no THE COST or FLOuR.

AS TO THE COST OF FLOUR,
you must see for yourself that good
flour like FISHERS BLEND cannot
be produced as cheaply as a common
flour.
When urged to buy -four costing
less than FISHERS BLEND just keep
in mind the fact that by no chance can
the cheaper -four be as good; there is
no possibility of it meeting your pur-
poses in anything like the satisfactory
way that FISHERS BLEND insures.
Manufacturers and sales agents of
cheaper hours may use the argument
that their flour is just as good as
FISHERS BLEND. Your common
sense must show you that this cannot
possibly be, even if you have not made
the actual test of use.
Making FISHERS BLEND the
standard of comparison is the highest
kind of compliment to its superiority.
When anyone says "As good as
FISHERS BLEND" you know at once
that the merits of FISHERS BLEND
Flour are above question.
