School Children
Judge Mothers
Refuse to Eat Inferior Foods and
Place Blame on Poor Baking
A Nebraska Mother has found that
rnost children are expert judges of
good cooking. All winter this moth
er baked bread which did not satisfy,
and her children refused to eat it.
In her own words: "AH last win
ter I baked bread, but it just wasn't
good. I changed flour three times
and got no better results. Finally I
changed yeast, and still my bread
showed no improvement. I got very
blue, as I have five children who must
carry their lunch to school every day,
and we couldn't afford to buy the
bread. But the children refused to
eat what I baked.
"Then a friend told me to try
VICTOR FLOUR. The dealer said if
I wan't satisfied with one trial to
bring it back. I was more than sat
isfied. It was the most wonderful
bread I have ever baked and so fine
the children wouldn't believe I had
baked it until they saw me take more
frcm the oven. I'm certainly glad to
have found VICTOR FLOUR."
Your children, too, may enjoy the
best bread by baking with Victor
Flour, milled by The Crete Mills

in Plattsmouth carry VICTOR.
