Pure Foods cost more
than the neatly labeled

are many times worth

. Quality, taste and purity, not pride and aspiration
are the chief factors which make up the measureless
volumes of modern industry and y the expenditure of
millions for hotter and purer foods the world is gradually
being redeemed.
It is the neat labels which give attractiveness to the
cheap and impure food products but Purky spells
Economy in the end.

they have the quality and the skill and the time put
into them by which they can justify the keenest patronage
