tiUCCESS is measured by health.
' Health is largely dependent on drinking water.
Drinking water cleanses and absorbs the waste
matter.
I Its ability to cleanse is in proportion to its
purity.
Natural and spring waters maybe clear and brilliant, but
all do, more or less, contain minerals and organisms.
Purock Water is made pure in order that it may
cleanse, not deposit.
By logic to health; thru health to success. And
the most efficient starting point is drinking daily
Purock Water.
Purock Water is delivered to offices

The popularity of soup as a regular article of diet has increased so
rermrkably in recent years that it. is now universal. The reasons ate
plain. Science is chiefly responsible. Food values have been subjected
to rigid investigation hitherto unknown. And the more food is studied,
the more gooJ soup is appreciated as fulfilling all the functions of
"the ideal food."
Food in the modern sense must nourish ioA body and mind. Good
soup the beil soup Franco-American Soup does precisely this. It
is food enriched by the French Master-Chef until it yields the utmost
enjoyment, as well as nourishment.
