memorial asking the convention to re- I
cord itself as favoring nation-wide pro

perance society through Francis E. I

"Corn-Sweet"
is the neWest
descriptive word
in the language coined by de
lighted thousands to describe the
new, delicious,, sweet corn taste of
(New)

No longer need one be content
with corn flakes whose chief claim
to taste is based on added cream
' and sugar, for New Post Toasties
have an original, rich flavor (corn
sweet) that places them above and
beyond ordinary flakes.
To pleasantly surprise your
family, get a package of New Post
Toasties and serve in place of
ordinary "corn flakes."
Don't say a word but watch
New Post Toasties
bring the smiles,
