Until Bond Bread came,

own bread. Because bread was
the chief item in the diet of their
children they wanted to be sure
Of its purity and wholesomeness.
1t was to housewives who looked
upon bread as the most impor-
tant thing in their home making
that the bakers of Bond Bread
appealed for advice when they
sought the secret of a truly home

Bond Bread bakers that only the
