"Mother Goose" Bread.
In no other article of food can you buy as much real
nourishment for the money us in bread.
Consider how much meat, potatoes, etc., you would get
for ten or fifteen cents. Eat more bread and cut the cost of
living.
Sudman's "Mother Goose" Bread is a loaf of high food
value. It has Lhe true wheat ilavor and does not crumble
when cut which is a real test of good bread properly baked.
"Mother Goose" is scientifically mixed in an electric
dough mixer and baked in a modern brick oven which in
sures a loaf with that delicious flavor as in "Mother Goose."
Order bread with your groceries.
"Mother Goose" at 10c and "Sudman's Home Made" at 15c.
