Wo desire to call Hie attention of nil lovers of (Jood
Uroad to the "Siher Cloud" and "Hungarian" brands
of Flour, manufactured hy us. These Flours are made
from the choicest wheat that can be procured. By a
scientific admixture of No. 1 hard Miuneseta spring
wheat with the winter wheat, wo produce a Flour pos
sessing all tho advantages of each kind. Tho "Silver
('loud" 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
will lie well pleased.
