amr Good Things to Eat
For Picnics and Outings
Easy to Make Without Fuss or Bother
Pleasing—Nourishing—Satisfying
C-^ KACKEKS are fine and nutritious food in
handy and convenient form for taking
^ along and using at picnics ami outings,
on auto tours and on hiking, camping,
fishing and hunting trips.
Crackers require less space and make less
weight than their nutritive equivalent in any
other rcad.v-to-eat cereal food. The fact that
crackers are always ready to eat without prep
aration of any kind, and also without waste
(even the crumbs being most valuable in cook
ery) are big points in their favor.
Furthermore, the crackers are protected
against spoilage when used from the handy and
reliable tin can in which they are marketed,
which keeps out the moisture, odors, dust,
rodents, etc., and keeps in all the delicious good
ness.
Equipped with a can, caddie or package of
quality crackers, a thermos bottle of good butter
and a jar of previously prepared filler—and you
will b-nve sandwiches when and as you need them.
Prepared just before eating, they will be neither
soggy nor dried out until tasteless, but inviting
and appetizing in appearance and deliciously
good eating from first to last bite. Of course,
cracker sandwiches can be prepared in advance,
if desired, wrapped in waxed paper and packed
in the picnic hamper, but the experience of many
outdoor folks is that the best picnic sandwiches
are those prepared just before serving.
