But it was on April 15, 1823, in
a tiny workroom on Co m m o n

himself with James Stewart, a
Scotchman, and thus the House of
Chickering yvas born. The first
Chickering piano is still extant, i
treasured and carefully guarded
relic, the work of Jonas Chieker

Kellogg’s Bran is cooked and al)
ready to eat. It is delightful as a
cereal, or sprinkled over your favorite,
hot or cold cereal. Another popular
way to eat it is to cook or mix it with
a hot cereal. In preparation, add two
tablespoonfuls of bran for each person.
Delicious bakery batches arc made
with Kellogg’s Bran. Recipes are
printed on each package.
DO TWO THINGS—Eat Kellogg’s
Bran each day for permanent relief
from constipation and be certain to
eat at least two tablespoonfuls; in
chronic cases, with each meal.
First-class hotels, clubs and restau¬
rants serve Kellogg’s Bran in indi¬
vidual packages. Ask for it at your
restaurant. All grocers.
