The world has known Cottolene for over twenty-five years. It was in the van of the great movement for the improve ment of food products. x It is an exact combination of pure, ultra-refined cotton seed oil (a grade so high it is not listed in the market) with beef-stearine from' clean, fresh, leaf beef suet. That is what produces the splendid qualities for shorten ing, frying and cake-making in Cottolene There is an appetizing appeal in the thought that your foods are cooked with Cottolene made of an oil that is far superior to most salad oils and as fine as the best, combined with the choicest part of rich, leaf beef suet Nothing has ever been found to equal this combination. For more than a quarter of a century "Cottolene has been alone and has held an unchallenged, leadership. Order a pail of Cottolene from your grocer today and use it in shortening, frying, or cake-making. Added to its splen did results is its economy you use one-third less than of any ordinary cooking fat. Arrange with "your grocer for a regular supply.
