And that means 8 good meals a

Make the morning meal big meal
to start the day right. Plenty of good
food. Plenty OF Wonder Bread.
Because Wonder Bread gives to
your child 8 of the bodybuilding
elements that Nature uses to build
a good health foundation.
See for yourself the ways Wonder
Bread helps build strong bodies. Nat

urally, you want your child to have
every advantage-so serve plenty Of
Wonder Bread.
And your child will love Wonder
Bread. Because it tastes SO good. So
good because SO fresh. Plain or toasted.
For Wonder Bread is doubly fresh.
Fresh when you buy it and fresh
when you eat it.
Because Wonder Bread is slo-baked
baked 1870 longer than many Or
dinary kinds for lasting freshness.
So get nourishing doubly fresh
Wonder Bread from your grocer to-
day. And see that your child gets
plenty of Wonder Bread for break
fast and every meal!
