DEAR FOLKS:

recently. All of the guests
commented on the splendid
meal which the hostess served.
1t was a very simple meal. but
it was splendidly cooked and
beautifully served. The table
linen, the dishes, the floral
piece in the center of the table
everything harmonized.
The meal started with a deli
cious tomato broth. Then each
guest was served with pieces
OF steak at least two and a half
inches thick and cooked just
night. Baked potatoes. done to
a turn" were served with the
steak. Hot biscuits. made by
the hostess herself. were also
served There were ripe olives.
tomato ketchup. coffee and de-
Gcious butter. which made the
biscuits taste exceptionally fine.
For dessert were served some
wonderful canned peaches and
a large piece of chocolate cake.
also made by the hostess.
| was privileged to be one Of
the guests at this Sunday night
meal. | expressed my apprecia-
ton of the very good food and
the splendid cooking. and the
hostess said:
Thank you. but | have served
you with a plain meal. as you
know. yet somehow | take greater
pleasure in serving a plain meal.
because my guests usually like it
better. and besides | think THE
BEST THINGS ARE PLAIN"
Right" said |. The simple. sub
stantial dishes are always the most
satisfactory"
| then remarked to my hostess:
The steak you served tastes as
though it came from Wilson &
Co.. Chicago. You know | was in
Chicago several weeks. going
through the Wilson & Co. plant,
and | saw how they handle their
beef. The Beef Department is a
wonderful place. ! saw how the
beef goes through its several proc
esses of treatment before it is
shipped. how it is carefully guarded
and Inspected before it is allowed
to go to the public. and | want to
tell you that ! never felt so sure
of the quality of the steaks and
roasts | eat as did after my in
spection of the Wilson & Co. Meat
Department. | assume that others
in the packing industry are equally
careful. but | know what Wilson
& Co. do to protect the consumers.
so | am naturally predisposed in
their favor.
And the ripe olives you served
and the butter and the canned
peaches and the ketchup all tasted
to me like Wilson & Co. products. "
Then the hostess gave me a very
great surprise by saying. with a
smile:
You are right about the steak.
1t did come from Wilson & Co.
| bought it from my butcher. who
says the meats he gets from Viii
son & Co. are splendid and that
he finds his customers like them
very much.

fine. The coffee is Wilson & Co.'S
