SERV-US MINCE MEAT

Package condensed minCe meat {s made up today of the best quality Cf dried fruit and. other items which can be found, all of which are found in the United States with the exception 1f spices and CUrran5a. The study f packing condensed Ioince meat has as- lenGed over 9 period oE 100 years ari LOuay is aS near its perfection as yge can possibly conceive. The sanitation I'll the factories in which it is packed is beyond reprOaCh as the competition today in these lines necessitaUes the guarding of the most minute detail O9 the business. The apples used are of the best grade of New York State, where in our opinion is grown the best favored apple known. The raisiy-s used are Of the best quality seeded variety. No expense is con sidered in procuring the very highest grade of spices, and sugar, as we all know, is always sugar, the different grades merely representing the differ ent aaVOrS or different grapuIatiOu re- Quired for different purposes. Every particle of fruit or any other article used in the manufacture of mince meat is thoroughly cleaned and hand picked by people trained to know what should a:1d should not be used and in this manner the article comes to the house. wife cleaner by far than she could possibly take the same articles in her own kitchen regardless OL how clean it may be, and make up the filler for

It is our thorough belief that a mince meat pie made from condensed mince meat is about as cheap a dessert as can be prepared and yet as good.
 For many years mInce meat was considered a winter dish. Each year for the last ten our factory has had to increase it's capacity during the summer months until today it runs every day of the year with regular force of helpers. We ship goods to every part of the country the entire year. This of course means a great increase in the use of these goods over when mince meat was eaten only in the winter months which means an in- creased sale over the former winter consumption.
