opposition to the prevalent belief
that bluegrass does not grow In this

tended that twin grow here. and

SUMMER MAKES ESKIMO PIE
MORE POPULAR THAN EVER.

Fro mthe start Eskimo pie has en-
joyed popularity with old and young
alike. Everybody liked It: the name
caught the fancy and the taste
caught the appetite.
II spoke well for It's qualities that
even In tho winter time. children and
business men and office girls and
working women and clerks--every-
body made IL n favorite indoor
pastime, this eating of Eskimo pie.
There Is something about this dainty
that has the makin's of a sundae
and is eaten like a piece of candy
that In tremendously appealing. And
the wonder of II was that its popu-
hrity didn't wane. Now that the
summer months are upon us. and
the vanguard OF the hot weather has
touched us up a day or so. Eskimo
pies sales are more prolific than
ever. and the not season will prob
ably see tho output doubled.
The Eskimo pies are put out by
the Quality Ice Cream company.
