Double Strength
F Flavoring Extracts?
Ida Bailey Allen, Editor Household Page, New York Evening Mail,
well known food expert and authority on Home Economics says:
"Double Strength Extract does not cost as much as that which is
less desirable because the manufacturing costs are less. You save mon-
ey because all of the cost of making and selling two bottles of extract,
extra bottles, extra boxes, extra packing, extra shipping, are cut to put
n one bottle a DOUBLE VALUE IN STRENGTH."
Sherry- J ell
A pure Sherry Wine Flavor, concentrated and made semi-solid to
prevent its illegitimate use. For flavoring Lobster and Crab Newburghs,
Chicken a la King, Plum Pudding, Fruit Cake, Mincemeat, Salads,
