An ICe-Cream luncheon
for energy

ETS stop considering good ice-cream as
IL a Fourth of July" CONNECTION and put
il where it belongs-as a daily article of diet.
DIR. Woods Hutchinson says: ITO skimp
yourself on vitamines by cutting down on
fruits, salads, ice-crean1, fruit sodas and
compete is like putting soap fat and axle
grease into the oil system of your car"
Good foods for good thinking-for energy.
for health-and Burdan's Ice-cream is good
food. The personal supervision of the Bur
dan Brothers assures that.
The Burdan Brothers personally select
all the materials that go into Burdans Ice
cream. Whole milk and cream, rich in
-butter-fat, form the basis of Burdan's Ice
cream; pure fruit juices free from adultera-
ton are used in flavoring-these materials
are constantly tested in Burdan laboratories
for purity, food-value and wholesomeneSs.
Each process electrically registers the
quality and consistency of Burdans Ice
cream on charts which are scrutinized by
the Burdan Brothers-an absolutely uni
form butter-fat content and solid, creamy
consistency are assured.
And, oh, that delicious taste you get in
Burdansl-No matter what the flavor
Burdans Ice-cream gives you the fragrance
and delicate sweetness of the fruit itself
Serve Burdan's Ice-cream regularly to
your l1iddies, and the grown-ups of your
family. -. They'll thank you for it.
Burdan Brothers. Established 1899.
Buy e from the store with the red and green
Burdan sign and then you are sure of a scien-
ufically pure iee-cream. Any flavor.
