If You LIKE Butter, WANT Butter and Can
AFFORD Butter This Won't Interest You
But, if you would like a substitute for
butter at a reasonable price, rea'd all we
have to' say.
For some time past we have offered you
Oleomargarine. You, perhaps, know all
about the kind we offer.
You may have tried it, don't like it, so
are not interested in Oleomargarine.
-HERE IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT
NUT MARGARINE.
Tastes entirely -different than Oleomar
garine, the kind made with oleo oils.
But Nut Margarine is made with pure
vegetable oil, containing no animal fat.
Nut Margarine (the kind we sell) is a
surprisingly good product, and to those who
want .a butter substitute we can cheerfully
recommend this product.
The product Is pure white as we sell It
to you, but we give you a capsule of color
ing matter with which you color the prod
uct at home, givjng it a rich, golden, color.
This product is sold under the U. S. ln
ernal Revenue Law governing the sale of
Oleomargarine, hence must be stamped
Oleomargarine, but, as stated before, the
oils used are purely vegetable, no animal
fats whatever are used in the manufacture.
