'PURITY FLOUR
And Its Keeping Qualities
SOMEpeople find it necessary to buy a considerable quantity
of flour at one time -sufficient to last fur a long period.
Naturally they are anxious to procure a flour of the kind best
adapted to lengthy storage.
There are two important reasons 'why PURITY FLOUR
possesses these qualities. One is that it is made entirely from
Manitoba Hard Wheat. The other lies in the fact that the careful
milling necessary to produce " Purity " absolutely excludes all
low-grade particles of the wheat berry. It's the high grade
Manitoba Hard Wheat Flour that keeps -stands longest storage.
That's "Purity."
"Purity" flour may cost a little more,
but is more than worth the difference.
Try it. Watch results both for quality
and yield.
