ASTEIN&CO, Chlcafo New York & I " .AM Science Solves the Butter Problem with Butter Made from the White Meat of Cocoanuts Just when the price of butter threat ens to make it an unattainable luxury, science perfects TROCO, the new vege table butter made from the white meat of the cocoanut. , It tastes exactly like the finest cream ery butter and is even more wholesome and pure. It is churned with fresh Pasteurized milk to give true butter flavor. Because of old laws, ma'de before this discovery, we are compelled to label thi3 nut-made butter as oleomargarine. But it contains no oleo oils no hog oij beef fat. ' TROCO is simply vegetable fats, churned with milk for the butter taste. Yet this appetizing combination costs no more than does the best grades of oleo margarine. TROCO Can't Be Told From Butter TROCO has all the good qualities of fine creamery butter. ' The only difference you will notice is the cost. It is as nutritious as cream butter, and as easily digested. It possesses the fuel value needed for energy. TROCO when served has butter's golden color, because we supply the same vegetable coloring used by all butter makers. Served on your table, without explanation, no one can tell the difference. Gpes Farther In Cooking TROCO, used in cooking, gives the same re sults as butter, except that it goes farther. Cooks should remember this and reduce the amount. It makes such cake as has not been knowrt since butter soared in price. It allows the old-fashioned "rich" cooking that builds up the family health. Your Dealer Can Supply TROCO If your dealer doesn't already keep TROCO, ask him to get it for you. Tell him you must have this new-day successor to butter. Insist until he secures a supply.. For TROCO solves one of the biggest pToB lems presented by our high food prices The problem of serving appetizing wholesome butter at a moderate cost.
