As its advantages became known, Wonder
Bread has swept to quick success. Women
by the millions have been won to its use.
Many from brands they have favored for
years.
Today it is sold by grocers from coast
to coast. It is acclaimed as the Nations
Wonder Bread.
The total cost involved in offering this
bread to housewives staggers the imagina-
ton. The months of research that pre-
coded the actual discovery plus the ex-
penditures for new bakeries and special
ovens and ingredients Of extra quality
amount to $6,O94 900.
And yet in our opinion this is modest
price to pay for the remarkable health
benefits this delicious bread offers the
American people.
So obtain loaf today at your grocer's.
Observe its advantages.
Note how firm and tender it is. How
smoothly and easily it slices. How fra
GRAVITY fresh it is to begin with. And how
long it keeps that original freshness. You'll
be delighted and amazed.

To accomplish this a group Of bread ex-
perts were called together.
Every modern aid was placed at their
command. They were directed to spare
neither effort nor expense to achieve their
goal.
First they studied all the popular brands.
They noted their advantages - and OBJ
served the features that were lacking.
They experimental with flour from all
parts of the country. They sought in-

Why it builds health

A careful analysis soon established Won
der Bread as the cheapest and most eff
Gent energy food you can buy.
Every loaf is packedwith more than HOO
calories. Hence Wonder Bread largely
supplies the necessary energy needed by
the human body.
It provides, in addition, 500 OF all the
protein needed by your body. Protein, as
you know, is the food element that re-
places worn-out body tissues.
1t contains, in addition, calcium and
phosphate, which are so essential in the
hardening of the bones and teeth of grow
ing children.
Hence, Madam, Wonder Bread fosters
family health amazingly. 1t offers in cor
rect proportions the very elements needed

At last America has scientifically
perfect bread.
A bread that combines for the
first time rare delicacy of flavor
with remarkable nutritive and diet
etc qualities.
A bread that slices quickly and
easily and keeps fresh to the very
last slice.
A bread, thus, that offers house
wives the very advantages they
have always sought.
tits a product of the Continental
Baking Company, and its name is
Wonder Bread.
The story of its development at
a cost of six million dollars reads
like fiction.
In 1926 Continental officials de-
cided to produce a national bread.
A truly perfect bread, worthy to be
sold from coast to coast.

A Dainty Sandwich
Guests All Praise
Ey Alice Adams Proctor

Let me describe for you this week
what many women consider one OF my
most successful sandwiches.
It is selected from my now famous
sandwich booklet that many women
have found so useful.
call it my "Topless Sandwich"
Bacon Sandwich, Russian Style
Slices of bread (as many as
needed. Toast on one side only.
Spread untoasted side with but
ter. Cover with sliced uncooked
and skinned tomatoes. Arrange
three strips of uncooked bacon
across each sandwich. Place a
thin layer of cheese. on top.
Sprinkle with paprika. Set in
hot baking oven till bacon curls
and edges are Drowned. Serve
at once on warm dolly, with
ripe olives.
These sandwiches may be cut in
circles for more dainty service,
or the crusts may be left on and
the sandwich provide a hearty
course.
This, as told you, is but one of many
new recipes / have prepared. Your

free. The coupon below is for your
convenience.
Only this one word of warning. At
tempt none of these sandwiches with
out Wonder Bread. This is highly
important.
Wonder Bread, you see, slices easily
and firmly. You can cut it delightfully."-
thin. And, of course. its remarkable
flavor adds immeasurably to the taste
of the sandwich self.

EveryIoof same high standard

The development of Wonder Bread had
been mighty problem.
But unless the original goodness of that
first scientifically perfect loaf could be
duplicated millions of times day, those
months and months of tedious effort would
be spent in vain.
So six million dollars was spent to put
Wonder Bread on your table! New mod
ern equipment was purchased. Bakeries
were altered or enlarged to accommodate
the new scientific baking devices. The
vast sum of 5000, 900 was spent for this
purpose alone. But that was not all.
Every housewife knows that modern
baking equipment alone will not produce
good bread. OF equal importance is the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-03-25

ingredients of which the loaf is made.
To make every loaf of Wonder Bread up
to our original standard, over million
dollars extra must be spent each year for
the purchase of specially milled short pat
ent flour and other quality ingredients
which the Wonder Bread recipe demands.
Only ingredients of extra quality are used
in Wonder Bread. 1t is this extra quality
that costs over million dollars each year.
Thus, Madam, do we guarantee to
twenty-five million Americans a truly
amazing loaf of bread.

Develop remarkable recipe
AT last after tedious months of effort

At last after tedious months of effort
they developed a remarkable recipe.
It calls for specially milled short patent
flour, made only from the most nutritious
part of the wheat, the very heart OF the
wheat berry. Spring wheat from the
Northwest is carefully blended with the
famous hard winter wheat from the grain
belt of the Southwest.
Double the usual milk content is used.
And that milk must be pasteurized.
The sugar tests 1870 and the salt
$3.50 pure. The very highest grade!
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-03-25

But even with this recipe something was
lacking. The bread seemed dainty and
delicious enough. And yet even then these
men were not satisfied.

the expression on his face as he tells Mrs.
Brown how Wonder Bread comes to his

Perhaps that's one reason why SO many

slo-bake this bread. A process de-
signed to form a delicate crisp
and firm crust. Also to seal in the
delicious nut-like flavor of the wheat
and prolong the freshness.
Their entire baking experience went
into this supreme effort.
A delicate oven adjustment. The final
trial. A notation. SUCCESS!
And thus, Madam, two years ago Amer

many months of painstaking labor were
finally crowned with success.
