little May Jaaettt Martin, daughter
tf Mn. J. Claude Martin, 19S1
Felix Ave., Memphis, Tenn.
While her Daddy was
away in the War
LITTLE MAY JANETTE was a "war baby"
bom while her father was in the service.
Mrs. Martin, finding it necessary to return
to her work, started her baby on Borden's Eagle
Brand Milk. As May Janette's five little cousins
were brought up on Eagle Brand, naturally Mrs.
Martin had great confidence in it. And with
good reason. For May Janette now three-and-a-half
years old "is strong, sturdy and full of
life and energy" her mother says.
Don't experiment with year baby's food. Eagle
Brand has been the standard infant food for many
years. Countless mothers, like Mrs. Martin, have
found that it made their babies strong and well.
Thousands of physicians have recommended it for '
babies who were underweight and undernourish
' ed. For Eagle Brand is very easily digested.
Actually Borden's Eagle Brand Milk contains
nothing but pure milk and pure sugar. It is the
natural food if mother's milk is not available.
It is always pure and uniform. You can get it
anywhere.
