ALWAYS UNIFORM

Once a housewife gives FISHER’S BLEND
FLOUR a trial, she continues to use it. Due to
the great care we display in selecting ^ the
wheats and our scientific milling bISHERS
BLED FLOUR is always uniform. There is no
variation.
While FISHER’S BLEND costs a few cents
more per sack than most other • flours it
COSTS LESS PER LOAF because it gives
more and larger loaves of better bread.
Being a scientific combination of choicest
Eastern Hard Wheat and the choicest of
Western Wheats FISHER’S BLEND is a per
feet flour for every purpose, as good for cakes
and pastry as for bread.
