I X ■4A » PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. EVERY PAIL OF COTTOLENE is securely sealed. There’s no chance for the product to absorb the odor of things that surround it in the grocery store, such as cod fish, kerosene and soap. Lard, on the contrary, usu ally comes in bulk and is subject to all these odors. Stop to think of this and you’ll never use another pound of lard in your home. N*tu«-S Gift from the Sannr Sotrth Shortens wur food-Ltneftcns mr life Cottolene comes in three sizes of pails—small, medium, large—branded as shown here—the pail in white with red label and band. In the cen ter of the label is our trade-mark—a steer's head in cotton plant wreath. All good grocers sell Cottolene—the perfect shortening. ‘Let the GOLD DUST TWINS do your work” 0 0 >oe i*. nr I ; People Yon Know and People Yon Don’t Know. JohnP.
