In Celebration of the Allied Victory
New and Better
Betsy
irOfSidl
Betsy Ross was the famous little Philadelphia seamstress chosen by George Washington and Congress to
make the first American flag.
To every brave American who has looked to that flag for inspiration, in years past and present, the name of
Betsy Ross is full of meaning. She gave us our flag. Also, she typified to us for all time the helpfulness that
women bring and the inspiration that women lend in time of stress and trouble.
In celebrating with a new loaf of all-wheat bread the Allied Victory over Germany and our return to the all
wheat loaf of peace times it seemed to us that we could select no better name for our real "Home-Like" loaf
than that of "Betsy Ross."
Not a Substitute Loaf But a
"Real Home-Like" Loaf
Far from being a substitute loaf, Betsy Ross Bread celebrates final abandonment of the use of war-time sub
stitutes. Here is a loaf, furthermore, which has profited from our war-time lessons in bread making. The
difficulties of baking with substitutes led us to make researches in baking science which are proving of perma
nent value to us. The result is that today we are able to produce a finer all-wheat bread than ever before in
our history, and you will find Betsy Ross Bread, the final result of our careful study, a better bread in texture,
taste and food value.
Buy this "Real Home-Like" Loaf today, and be your own judge.
