We invite our lady patrons to call today and witness a practical demonstration by an expert from the factory of the UNIVERSAL THREE-MINUTE BREAD MAKER. The demonstrator -will be here for a few days only. Good bread and the easy way to make It. Baker's bread doesn't compare with "the bread that mother used to make." But he is a brave man who suggests that either mis tress or maid shall go through the drudgery of kneading the dough by hand, nowadays. But the disagreeable old fashioned method is no longer necessary for this making of the delightful, healthful old fasbloned bread. Instead of a half-hour of back-breaking work, it is now an, easy three-minute task, to knead the dough perfectly with the Universal Bread Maker. Now every dear old lady, whose bread every mother's son of us would like to live, on, would say "Bosh!" and we couldn't blame her. Simple as the new bread maker is, the work that it accomplishes so successfully is almost unbelievable, until you see it done with your own eyes. Come and see the demonstrator at work; and see the dough she kneeds with the new Bread maker, and the bread as it comes from the. oven, as well as when it is cut, when cooL Then eyery housekeeper, as well as her husband, wouldn't think of living without delicious home-made bread. Price of the Universal Bread Mixer is $2.25.
