Narrowness, clannishness exclu
siveness used to be besetting sins of
capitalistic sets, of corporation own
ers and other large employers of la
bor. They saw everything through
their own eyes and refused to look at
things from the workingman’s or the
public’s viewpoint.
This shortsightedness is being
cured. Employers, individual an 1

the fact that, to be In the highest

It is one thing to make soda
crackers that are occasionally
good.
It is quite another thing to
make them so that they are
always better than all other
soda crackers, always of un
varying goodness.
The name “Uneeda”— stamped on
every biscuit—means that if a million
packages of Uneeda Biscuit were
placed before you, you could choose
any one of them, confident that every
soda cracker in that package would
be as good as the best Uneeda Biscuit
ever baked. Five cents.
