Vi
iy Did We Raise The Price of Bread?
Because we are keeping
up the quality
Talks on QUALITY by J. F. Block
and outsiders.
The Best Made
I. wonder how many of you housewives of Rock Island have
stopped to think of the quality of ingredients that go into bread?
Do you ever think of the COST of THOSE ingredients?
Frankly, it is the difference in the cost of ingredients that
makes the difference in quality and taste of bread. You can't ex
pect to buy a quality loaf of bread unless the ingredients used are
QUALITY ingredients.
Flour alone has jumped $3 and $4 a barrel and the government
only allows you to buy 60 days' supply. And that is onlv one item.
Every other baking ingredient has gone sky-high in price.
If you want QUALITY loaf of bread, that contains pure in
gredients that contains the most nourishing, wholesome and ap
petizing food values, you can get that QUALITY home-made loaf
at the Federal Bakery.
rvTT?rhTe-? are S many thin2s 1 want to in connection with
QUALITY bread and scientific baking that it would take a whole
page to tell the story. For this reason I want you to stop in at the
Federal Bakery the next time you are down town this way and I
will tell you about Federal Home-Made Bread.
We are not in favor of cutting the size of the loaf, as some of
the bakers are, but believe in giving you a bigger and better loaf
of bread and to keep up the QUALITY. Compare our bread with
the 15c loaf and convince yourself that it is worth the difference.
Eat two slices instead of one. ,
QUALITY IS OUR GREATEST AIM
TO UPHOLD THE FEDERAL NAME
Telephone your orders in and have
us save it for you. We bake special
orders for parties, providing we get
the order ahead of time. Weliake a
complete line of pastries.
