The Factory Behind the Food More than torty different kinds of corn flakes were prepared experimentally before New Post Toasties were finally developed to perfection. As a distinguish ing feature, note the tiny bubbles on each flake—raised by the quick, intense heat of a new, patented process of manufacture. New Post Toasties are the first com flakes with a self-developed flavour — the full, true flavour of choice white Indian Corn unlike common "corn flakes'' that depend largely on cream and sugar for their palatability. Try a handful dry—this simple test will demonstrate the delicious new flavour. But the tlakes are usually served with cream or rich milk. New Post Toasties do not chaff or crumble in the package, and they "stand up" when cream or milk is added. They're untouched by human hands and put up in moisture-proof packages to preserve their oven freshness until served. Trj- some of the New Post Toasties At your grocer's now.
