A Distinct Product.
Butterine is not a make-shift
or substitute for butter. but is
a separate and distinct prod
uct, having merits of its own.
It is a combination of the es-
sential food fats of our every
day diet, and has the approval
and recommendation of such
famous food experts as DR..
Harvey w. Wiley. Prof. Henry
Morton. Prof. Paul Sweitzer,
and many others-all of them
being chemists and food au-
thorities.
Experts Endorse Butterine.
All are agreed that Butter
inc is pure. wholesome and
delicious. Domestic Science
experts enthusiastically en-
dorse Butterine and use IL to
the exclusion of butter.
In the home It provides a de-
licious spread for bread, for
hot griddle cakes and waffies,
a seasoning for baked pota-
toes, hominy, rice, meat,
gravies. for shortening in
cakes, and for frying. It's uses
are legion, its purity. whole
someness and flavor make IL
popular, and its low cost per-
mits generous use for the table
and In cooking. Not only those
compelled to economic have
learned this interesting story
of Butterine, but many who
might easily pay the higher
price for butter if they we're so
inclined.

IN HERE are just two ways
Of economizing one is
to use less Of that which

When the price of butter ad-

the modern progressive idea of
using Butterine?
Many of us recall that when
We first heard of Butterine
we wanted to try il and sec
whether we would like it, how
much II would reduce our gro

order it-half afraid that some
of our neighbors might see us
and comment on our frugality.

There is no need to put nee taxes on the people
