Though naughtof our brethren we'd say;
But of them we don't know of any
Who give goods so nearly away.

We desire to call the attention of all lovers of (Jood
Hread to tlie 'Siher Cloud" and "Hungarian" brands
of Flour, in aim fact ii red by us. These Flours are made
from the choicest wheat that can be procured. JJy a
scientific admixture of No. 1 hard Minnesota spring
wheat with the winter wheat, we produce a Flour pos
sessing all tho advantages of each kind. The "Silver
Cloud" is worthy of its name, and makes the whitest
of flaky loaves, though it is especially adapted to pas
try, biscuit, rolls, etc. The "Hungarian" is our great
est and best known brand, because it is the great bread
making flour, producing as it does a white, moist, nutty
flavored loaf. Ask your grocer for either brand. You
w ill be well pleased.
