Guard f lie Family Health
Health is often endangered by unsanitary
cooking utensils. Physicians have found
that cancer is caused by enamel ware chip
ping off and irritating the stomach.
If you have children or invalids in the family
beware of cheap cooking utensils that crack,
scale, peel off, tarnish or rust. Disease
germs lurk in the worn places and there is
further danger of tainting the food. Health
is too precious to take risks with it.
Be safe. Use
Pure Spun Aluminum
Cooking Utensils
which are guaranteed for 1 5 years constant
service and will never spoil food nor endanger
health.
This new ware is featherweight, beautiful,
easy to clean does not tarnish nor rust.
The slight extra cost is more than made up
by long service and absolute cafcty.
