Wo desire to call the attention of nil lovers of (Jood
Ilread to the "Siher Cloud" and "Hungarian" brands
of Flour, manufactured by us. These Flours are made
from the choicest wheat that can he procured. My a
scientific admixture of No. 1 hard Mimieseta spring
wheat with tho winter wheat, we produce a Flour pos
sessing all the advantages of each kind. Tho "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
flavoreu loaf. Ask your grocer for either brand. You
will be well pleased.
