MY FIRST APPEAL TO MAN! lAllljtllUWH I W NOW Gentlemen, I appealed to the Ladies some time ago to try a sack or my 4-A pest Hour and the large num ber who took confidence in what I said and tried it, say that it is better than any brand they have ever used. Gentlemen, I would, appreciate it if you would interfere in the household duties long enough to see if your wife has tried a sack of my Flour. If she hasn't, you insist on the next sack being my Flour. I guarantee every sack or your money back. Every Grocer handles this Flour and I would like to have every man in town have his wife use it, and I am sure that there would be one point of mutual interest that every one would agree upon, namely: that my 4-X IS KING OF FLOURS. Here's hoping, gentlemen, that you will never have cause to complain to your wife regarding her bread. Chas. F.
