THE LADIES ENTERTAINED, [ll A Convincing Illustration of the Goodness, Purity and Nutritive Value of the Prod- pi ucts of The National Biscuit 80 Company, Some of the q! finest Baking in the World. " The crowds of ladies who attended [u the reception given by the National Biscuit Company at K. of I*. Hall "l Wednesday afternoou, March loth, us were most agreeably surprised at the cq lavish preparation that had been made for their entertainment. It would ? seem that everything that could add ^ to the comfort and pleasure of the nr guests had been anticipated and pro- Brj vided for. The hall had been superb ly decorated for the occasion, special . material having been sent from New W' York for the purpose, and arranged by it a corps of decorators, who accompany m the reception committee. Daintily ? served refreshments included many of the delicious products of the National m Biscuit Company, served direct from their packages, which, by excluding ro all air, dust and moisture, so effectually preserve the purity and goodness c* their contents. Among them were Uneeda Biscuit, Oysterettes, Butter stl Thin Biscuit, Graham Crackers, Social m Tea Biscuit, Zu Zu Ginger Snaps and . others. The reception was a striking lesson rt'1 to the guests in one respect. It thor- cl< oughly exploded the iaea of buying a ^ biscuit, crackers, and wafers from an open box or barrel, and having them . delivered, more or less mutilated, in a paper bag. it is explained that no th matter how perfect a biscuit may f01 come from the oven, it loses its freshness, by exposure to the air. even for an hour. Only by giving it the pro- th toction of a package which excludes an all air, dust and moisture, can the original goodness, crispness and puri- .* ty of the biscuit be retained. *y' The reception was also an illustra- th tion of the wide range of adaptability dr of the products of the National Hiscuit Company. For any requirement rpt from the oysters to dessert, there is always a biscuit, cracker or wafer to ni suit, and best of all, they can bo pur- to chased any time, anywhere, and are cr always fresh. In the purchase of . these products the trade mark of the National Biscuit Company on each end of the package is always an absolute sit assurance that the contents are not ^ only the very pcry perfection of the . baker's art, but that they are always fiure, always good, and have had absoute protection from dust, moisture fo and handling from the time they left ^ the oven until they reached the consumer's hands. Nabisco Sugar Wafers and Festino CC Almonds were also served. These are us two confections of such unrivaled del- fa ioacy and delioiousness as to virtually form a class by themselves. Taken altogether the reception was Hi a pronounced success, and as the [;ucsts departed expressions were ^ lenrti, indicating that they liad received not only pleasant entertainment but profitable information as well, til ^ , > W< Street Improvements. ' J? The city council is now making ^ some very great improvements on w Main street. It is their purpose to ^ place asphalt pavements on both ftl sides of the street all the way down east and the property owners have ^ l>een asked to set their front fences n] back al>out 4 feet, this will give a ^ nice wide pavement and several feet to widen Main street and-add very n much to the appearance to that part of the city. As soon as this arrangement can l>e made, Main street will be macadamized. The purpose is to do permanent work therefore all sewer and water pipes ai should be placed so as not to be iu tl the way of a permanent macadam pi street. Of course this will take fr some time and money, but in the so mean time the other streets of the tl ci{y should not be entirely neglected. fii Death of Mr, A.
