and we mean it. We don't care what
other bakers do we buy only selected,
tested eggs. Every tgg is examined be
fore it is delivered, and to make doubly
sure of wholesomeness, we open the eggs
ourselves. That's another reason why
you should always insist on Ivins J baking.
POUND CAKE AND SPONGE CAKE
You use good eggs real eggs when you bake '

There's Ivinspound or Ivinssponge just as richly
