Editorial .
Limburger Cheese is the salvation
of the nation! Such is the verdict
of the entire editorial staff of The
Pill Box after diligent investigation
and scientific research. There is no
substitute. It must be Limburger
Cheese or die. The entire popula
tion of a county in Wisconsin has
discarded meat and substituted Lim
burger Cheese. ' Nobody has died.
Healthiest spot in the world. Every
body going to live forever. There
fore your salvation, our salvation
and the neighbor's salvation de
pends upon Limburger Cheese.
The Pill Box has thrown out the
life line. Eat Limburger Cheese
and live!
