One Poirad Free
We Buy It For You
From Your Grocer
Nut Butter Brought to Perfection
We offer a pound of Troco Free to
every family in this city to those
who think they can use nothing but
butter to those now using various
brands of raargarin.
It is an acquaintance pound to intro
duce you to the finally perfected
nut butter to a sweet, delicate table
product churned from nut fats and
Pleasant Valley milk, wonderful in
flavor, highest in food value.
The cost of this free offer is enor
mous, but we can afford to make it
for this reason:
Because we know that everyone
who once tastes Troco, who once
enjoys its wonderful flavor, will
surely continue to use it in prefer
ence to any other product.
This gift pound wins countless per
manent customers who find that
Troco gives the quality they want,
the food value they need, at the
price everyone wants to pay.
Made by a butter expert
, in a new plant
A. E. Hoffman, famous for over 30
years ss butter maker, butter judge
and teacher of butter making, super
vises the production of every pound
of Troco.
. He has been distinguished for the
peculiarly sweet and delicate flavor
of his butter. ,
He puts this same butter sweet
ness and delicacy into Troco: If
you are using butter you get the
same flavor in Troco at half the
price. If you are using margarin
change to Trco and enjoy true
butter flavor.
We built Mr. Hoffman a new plant
of white tile and concrete the last
word in modern food plant construc
tion. Laboratory, mechanical and
sanitary equipment are perfect.
Same food value
as butter
t -
Troco is as delicious as butter, as
your first taste will prove. Equally
important, it has the same food value.
It is churned from Pleasant Valley
Farms milk and snowy coconut fat,
the vegetable equivalent for butter
fat. Analysis proves nutritive value
is the same. "
With flavor the same and food value
the same, it costs 25 to 40 cents a
pound less than best butter. Your
money brings two pounds of Troco
for every one of butter.'
Think what this big saving means
when all food prices are so high and
grocery bills climb out of sight.
Figure it for yourself, by the week,
by the month, by the year.
' Think what it means not to be
skimped to be able to serve the most
healthful,. necessary and appetizing
of all foods in abundance to use all
you want and all you should have
without thought of economy.
Think what it means to know you
are serving the best sweet, dainty,
nut butter brought to perfection.
We offer a pound of Troco free an
acquaintance offer. We know Troco
will please you, that you will always
hereafter use it. So we can afford to
buy you this first pound for the sake
' of your future custom. Please ac
cept this gift pound and see.
