Dutch Expert In Armour's oleomar-

Story of New Food
Product.

| He was found in a big, cool, tile
lined room, testing with an instru'
ment the snow-white contents OF
giant churn, no winter than his own
cap. apron and gloves.
/ you people are progressive ne
said when l told my friends IN
Holland that l had accepted posi-
ton with Armour and Company, that
was coming to America and was
going to bring the churns with me,
they wouldn't believe 1t. 1t looked
like a very expensive proposition 10
them and they couldn't understand
that nut-margarine was new tood
in this country.
| "You see, marga rine. made from
nut oils, has been a staple food on
the markets of Europe for years.
There are big concerns over on the
other side that have their own docks

And these plants supply margarine In
quantities sufficient to satisfy tne

two pounds per person per year IN

this was not necessary, but the hrm

II find that most people with

surprise that it is in the farming dis

, of the dairy districts of Denmark ana
Holland have known for many years
the high nutritive quality and eXcel-
lent flavor OF a properly made nut
margarine, and sell their butter and
serve on their tables this margarine,
the value of which this country mas

Indeed Nut-Ola, which we are
making here, is really better pro
duct than that which is used abroad,
because Armour has been able 10

manufacturers have had to learn
