WHERE J(j
Spices
Buy Your Spices Where
They Sell Good
Ones
The best spices you can buy are
the cheapest. A low-grade spice
made from raw material that has
no strength to start with is useless
for any purpose.
Take cinnamon for example,
ground from hark that has all the
oil taken out of it. Technically it
is pure ground cinnamon, nothing
else in it, but practically it might
as well be the kind that is adulter
ated with ground cracker crumbs
or ground peas.
We have a full line of ground
spices that are dependable. Every
kind is not only pure, but full
strength as well. We warrant them
satisfactory to you.
Tumeric, cloves, sage, allspice,
black pepper cayenne pepper, mus
tard, ginger, cinnamon, mixed
spices, mace. Some arc 10c. per
can, some 15c., some 5c.
Extra good flavoring extracts are
here too. Vanilla, lemon, straw
