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.
