with Tomato Sauce
Yes, you detect it at once that
delicious flavor and tang of
Heinz famous Tomato Sauce.
It is made of choice, fresh, sun
ripened tomatoes, perfectly
spiced and seasoned and used
exclusively in the spotless
Heinz kitchens.
But the .supreme goodness of
Heinz Baked Beans is the
blending of this distinctive taste
with the real bean flavor that
oven baking gives.
The Heinz method of actually
baking in dry heat ovens re
tains the food value of beans as
well as the flavor. These things
mean food economy.
Heinz Oven Baked Beans are
all ready to eat hot or cold.

AND WHY
A special story from Wash

the enaction of the rules that
