Z&GHJCUUL DHUOCtST Davis Best Flour Say, Mrs. Breadmaker, did you ever have trouble with your bread in the Summer and Fail? Yes. you have. But it was not your fault. We know It. For years. yes. for half a ct-ntury perhaps. you have baked bread fit for a kins. The reason of your failure in the Summer and Fall was that you wre bakinf? new flour. Flour freshly ground from the newly harvested wheat needs to cure for months before it will make good bread. The makers of DAVIS BEST FLOUR have solved the bread prob lem for you. Their mills are In the famous Bit? Bend wheat district of Eastern Washington. In their string of warehouses they hoard mam moth piles of golden grain, and by operating their mills day and night they accumulate a large stock of old crop flour. We can supply you with old DAVIS BEST FLOUR. It costs no more than the green, damp, newly ground flours and makes better bread. BIG BEND WHEAT Is acknowledged by millers grown on the Pacific Coast. DAVIS BEST Is unbteachd. uncolored and nndoped. but has as fine a color as any flour on the market. TRY A SACK of DAVIS' BEST now, and If you are not greatly delighted your merchant will cheerfully refund your money. SIM0NTON&SCOTT, Dallas, Ore.
