Who ttNever Has Any Luck
Putting Up Fruit and Berries

Good home preserving is now easy to
accomplish. Even the housewife who
''never has any luck" with all sugar pre-
serving can put up fruit perfectly if she will
first make her preserving syrup with n
Karo (Red Label and n sugar-instead
of sugar alone.
BY this method you can always have the
finest, most delicious jams, good clear jellies,
and preserves with rich, heavy syrup.
Karo is fine, clear syrup, with anarral
affinity for the fruit juices.
It blends the fruit with the sugar, doing
away with one of the great difficulties of
putting up fruit at home, and just about
cutting the work in half.
You can depend on it that fruit put up
by this method viii never grow tough or

For Cooking, Baking and Candy Making Karo
Cred Label is used in millions Of homes. In all
cooking and baking recipes us Karo instead Of
sugar. It is sweet, of delicate flavor, and brings
out the natural flavor of the food.
