using RADIUM Flour right along and how well it suits them

which they are continually doing. The be~t e\idence we have that,we are making a satisfactory\ grade of flour is the fact" that - ·

our Flour sales are continually in­creasing. Our sales during the last six months have been more than ever before in same length of time
