. !Let Youf People Decide ' '
Serve one dish of home-baked beans and one dish of Van Camp's. Then let your f cOa (
decide which kind they'll have next And be glad of their choice. For you don't
want to bother with home cooking do you? if your people like our methods best. '
Hera It an ideal adtcben, fitted with erery facility. Ia charge of
A clref whose main pirrposo in life la to create one perfect dish.
At tttke on that dish is our reputation, established for 47 years.
And a sale of tens of millions of cans erery year depends oa how
people like it. .
May we not claim, without of! en sc. that we can prepare that oce
dish better than yon?
One reason Is that we bake in lire steam.
So we don't crisp part of the beans, as yon do. We don't burst
the skins. Ours are all baked alikebaked on til they are mealy.
Yet they are natty because they are whole.
That is tbe first point your people will notice. They will never
again want beans mnshy and broken when they learn the nutty flavor
beans have when they're whole.
You will never be
nutty flavor, that perfect blend, that tang

UU rf VSVrVA kwuio vtaU aw, uuu J wu tt aaa wuu wa uiw iiiiiumao tt aaw
But the difference tn beans Isn't all in the cooking. There ia also
wide choice in materials. -
Tbe beans, I at irsstaace, are sold as low as 30 cents per bushel.
Yet we pay $2.10 for oars.
The reason is that we bay only tbe choicest Michigan beans.
Oars are picked out by hand to give ns only the whitest, tbe plump
est, the very cream of the crop.
We could boy tomato juice for 75 cents per barrel. Yet we pay
$3.45 for just the tomatoes used in a barrel of ours.
Tbe difference is this: Cheap sauce is made from tomatoes
picked green, and ripened in shipment. Or of scraps from a can
sing factory. It lacks flavor and richness and aest.
Outs is made only from whole tomatoes, ripened on the vines.
They are picked when, the juice fairly sparkles. Our sauce has a
savor which Nature alone can give. ,
When yon once know what our picoant tang means, yon will
sever bay brands which lack it,

Then we bake Ihe beans, the tomato sauce and the pork all

Yon will never be content to add the sauce as a dressing when
yon learn how much better it tastes if baked into the beans.
Then we beat our ovens to 243 decrees, and bake the beans
ninety minntes. Most of the beans ia your baking dish never get
half that heat.
That's why yonr beans are heavy and hard to digest That's
why they ferment and form gas.
It retjnires a fierce heat to break down tbe fibre of beans. To
separate the particles so the digestive juices can get to them. Your
oven cannot apply it.
Beans, to be digestible, must be factory cooked.
It is good to know that the beans which yon like best are al&e

Tbe production of tobacco in th United
Btates. w-hich waa 01000.000 pound la
1J6, was C,aXj,000 pound In 1 and
nearly 700.000,000 pound In 1K0C. Th value
of this crop baa simultaneously increased
from tOu.OCO la IKS ta P.OC0,(K In IX
and rffM tn UC7. It will be observed
that our American tobacco averages be
tween I and t cents a pound. Thi la Its
so-called farm value. Almost balf cf eur
tobacco 1 exported, the total for UOS being
some K.00&GW pounds, valued at SM.000.tti0.
La thaa Jl,!iM).0( of tkia export business
is tn foreign tobacco that baa beea brought
ber for manufacture or reahlpment, and
nearly all of thia I leaf filler.
It would probably surprise tbe great maa
of smoker to know bow large a per
centage of tobacco consumed la th United
State is howia1 grown or, at least, bome
manufactured The cigars, cigarettes and
cheroots w imfCrt do aot exceed la amount

or t.OJh.OOO ta value, and of tobacco in leaf
we import lea than tT.OX.tK) worth cf
wrapper and less than Ei.W.j0 worth of

Cigar wrapper Imported at about SI a
