What sort of

do you eat?
Food values are’so‘ dependent on quality of ingredi-
ents used—that one should be most particular—that is
one important reason why we take so much trouble to
secure only the best for every article we make. .
Howland bread has for its foundation "Occident”
flour—“Diamond Crystal” salt—pure leaf lard—mill?—

these are the principal ingredients that mike this bread “ *
wholesome and also play an important part in making it
taste so good. ‘
So in cakes—best pastry flour—eggs and pure milk
play an important part and the butter used for shortening
is best table butter—no wonder l-iowland cakes are good.
Best of ingredients go into all the pies we bake—-
that is why the ,crust is fine and flaky—and the fillings
are'made right in our big daylight bake shop—fresh fruits _-.
