To the majority of people, food is food nothing more. But to the
cultivated minority, food must be "more than meat though less than honey."
The nice adjustment of nutrition and condiment required by the people who
enjoy Franco-American Soups marks the highest attainment of culinary art.
To such people, indeed, dinner is a feast in which the soul may be said to
play some part.
In the making of Franco-American Soups there is a Gallic finesse which is
inimitable because it a perianal. It places these soups quite beyond comparison.
Franco-American Soups reach your dinner-table just as we make them.
They are finished in every fine detail. To modify them would only be
to mar them.
The splendid nutritive value of Franco-American Soups, plus their delicious
and exclusive flavor, makes any consideration of price only secondary.
