This grocer sells better quality gro ceries and therefore recommends Peter Pan Bread. The cut surface of a properly mixed and baked loaf of bread should be soft and velvety to the touch. It should not crumble when the fingers are drawn lightly over its cut surface. The texture of Peter Pan Bread is soft and pliable. It is so elastic that when pressed by the fingers it immediately tesumes its original shape. Tt.. 1... ^ J/unvu Petersen & Pegau Baking Co. i
