You know what Cottolene
is made of
There is no secret about Cottolone.
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.

t Is it possible there is a woman in this country who con
tinues to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound a trial after all the evidence that is con
tinually being published, which proves beyond contradic
tion that this grand old medicine has relieved more suffer
ing among women than any other one medicine in the world?

more genuine testimonial letters than have ever been pub
lished in the interest of any other medicine for women
