More Southern Mothers
buy Merita
than any other Bread
Southern MOTHERS know good bread. By the
hundreds of thousands they have flocked to Merita because
after comparing taste, food value and fineness of texture,
they have found Merita to be just the bread they wanted
to give their families.
Merita is made of the finest ingredients, scientifically
measured, mixed and baked by master craftsmen. Merita
is made with milk, which not only gives it a richer flavor
but makes it a better, healthier food for children and
grown-ups alike. And it stays fresh longer.
Remember that more Southern mothers buy Merita than
any other bread. Such overwhelming preference for Merita
can be accounted for in only one way—it must be better.
If you have not realized
that there actually is a better
bread, get Merita at your
grocers today and find out
the difference for yourself.
