DEEP FRIED WITHOUT SMOKE OR ODOR .
SOME time when you have company, for din- ;
ner, or when you wish to give your family a
delicious treat, serve one of these delightful fruit ; '. - !
fritters as an entree. ; . , w .1. -y
Deep fried in Crisco they retain all "of thfi'dcll
cious, natural fruit flavor and are never greasy, - ; -And
remember, too, that , whin you. use Crisco '
fn frying you are never troubled with smoke or
unpleasant odors in your kitchen. Crisco does,
not smoke at proper frying temperature.
Lots of Other Good Things, Too J
Crisco is by ho means limited to frying. I find
that with Crisco I can mnke light, tender cakes,
fluffy biscuits, flaky pie crust and lots of other
good things too. It is the only shortening and
cooking fat I need have in the house.
