There has boon a slight improve

but it is considered out of tho (liH-s-tiou

Fish also is easily obtnineil, although

foi'H nol the flavor of I'lt-ain and siijiir upon which other flafces have' to de
pend. And notice, too, the appearance of New Post Tonsties, particularly the
tiny bubbles on the surface of each flake. These bubbles are a distinguish
ing feature produced by the quick, intense heat of a new patented process
of manufacture.
New Post Tonsties do not "chaff" or crumble in the package, and they
don't mush down in cream like other flakes. They're more substantial and
fire altogether more satisfactory than any flakes that have preceded them.
The proof is in the eating- have your grocer send you a package.
