we Are selling quite a lot of peanuts every day
but if the public knew the food values in peanuts we would sell to every
household in tli# city and Peninsula; as we are the only house in this
section of the world which roasts Peanuts and Coffee daily.
THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE has proven and re
commends the use of peanuts; because peanuts contain very large
quantities of both protein and fat and they are regarded as a very valu
able food and new uses are found every day, such as butter, oil, which
rivals the best olive oil, and delicious puddings, soups, ets.
.PEANUTS CONTAIN 25# protein which is more than most
meat has and from 40# to 50# of fat.
WE SELL PEANUTS FOR 10c sack or 25c per pound.
