Better Eat Zephyr^ Flour
Bread Than Sirloin Steak
You eat lots of bread when it is made of
Zephyr Flour.
The rich gluten of Kansas hard wheat gives
It a flavor that is especially appetizing.
And lots of bread means more strength.
U. S. Government tests show that one pound
of flour, such as Zephyr, at 254c to 3c a pound.
gives as much muscle-building strength as two
pounds of sirloin steak at 15c to 20c a pound.
Zephyr Flour
is the only Guaranteed Flour on the market.
Tryit at o^rrisk. Use half of a48-pouna sack for bread,biscuits,
pies, cake, pastry.
If you are not so well pleased with it that you wouldn't have
