Omaha can justly be proud that right here in Omaha is located the largest and most costly broad cooler in The World. Fur\her. this wonderful cooler is the Only one in Omaha. No other Omaha made bread is so "perfectly" cooled be fore being wrapped. In this great machine the loaves are taken direct from the ovens, traveling by “belts” into a specially constructed room. Every loaf travels more than one half a mile; it takes two hours for the .iourney; the temperature and purity of ihe air are controlled; 8.500 loaves are included in the trip at the same time. This again is our reason for saying Hard Roll Bread is a far superior quality loaf of Bread. It is given every known ad vantage. and is uniform in its goodness day ufter day. AM) REMEMBER!
