more, just before starting he had beea ad

"Hobson's
Choice"
Tobias Hobson was the first man in England who let out
hackney horses.
When anyone wished to hire a horse, he was obliged to
take the one standing nearest the stable door he had no
selection. Hence the old proverb, so familiar now. was born:
"To elect tkers is Vat owe
Ta Hobaoo'i cbocr take that or Bona."
Before the introduction of U need a Biscuit buying
soda crackers in a paper bag. was like hiring Hobson's horses
there was no choice. In kind and quality there was but
one take that or else take none. Whether stale, soggy, dirty
or old 'twas ever the same "Hobson's Choice."
U need a Biscuit in In-er-seal Packages have revolu
tionized this old method and set an example that has received
the stamp of public approval as the sale of over 200.000.000
5 cent packages attest
The In-er-seal Package insures their quality, deanliners
