Hotel Facilities You Can Be Proud Of Everyone Will Appreciate This Bread Yes, that's a mighty broad state ment to make, but we are cer tain because a loaf of Butter Nut bread contains so much more real tantalizing,' appetizing 'fla vor than ordinary bread. once you try Butter Nut you'll like it so much then you'll want it all the time. Just try a loaf today. At All Dealers Made by La Grande Bakery K. J. McWILLIAMS The Bread Line. If everybody in La Grande and the sur rounding community suddenly became absolutely satisfied with everything, wouldn't it be a calamity? It's funny that we continually seek sat isfaction' and contentment, yet, fortu nately, never find it. In fact, we delilcrately try here in our bakery to keep ourselves a little dis satisfied with the very best we can do. Thus, we frequently find we can do bet ter. ! The vciy best we can do to please you, is in our opinion not quite good enough to suit us.
