FIRST: Nature-grown in the flelds of the Sunny South;
and obviously much purer and a great deal healthier
than the fat of the hog.
SECONDLY: More economical than hog lard; goes far
ther ? much farther--every time.
THIRDLY: As good as butter for cake and bread mak?
ing and for all kinds of cooking where butter or other
cooking fat is needed, and much cheaper, because
it costs less^in the first place and less of it has to
be used.
Its purity and quality guaranteed. Every
