Salad Dressing
Dinner without a salad is like a
woman without a SMILE" and indeed
salads with oil dressing should be
frequently served, not only on account
of their tastiness, but also because
pure olive oil is extremely wholesome.
or course 1t is necessary that the oil
be strictly pure and it should be
bought only from firms whose reputa-
ton is guarantee of excellence. The
studebaker Grocery Store. Second
street at State, makes a speciality of
pure Tuscan olive OIL with the deli
cious smoothness and tastiness which
only imported olive oil has, and al
though the importers have been forced
to advance the price of this oil. the
Studebaker store is cutting down their
individual profits and selling this ex-
cellent oil at the usual price.

once succeeded in naming backward
