Burnum Can Any Knowledge Benefit You More Than This? there any thing of-more value to you than that of knowing everything about the food you cat? How it is made--and from what it is made? you knew the source of certain foods, you probably woukl not eat them. Take, for example, the fat you use to your fopds.

As you know, the flavor of the food and its tiizrsiibHiiy depend on the FAT food. Isn't it a pleasant thought to know that the tremendous popukrity of Mazola is due to the fact that it is a pure vegetable oi! from an source. By edible source is meant that Mazola comes from the hearts of golden corn. If you like "corn-on-the-cob" you can't help liking Mazoln. is not a grease--and does not make fried foods greasy.

It is SL wholesome, pure fat--an oil that is so palatable and health-giving that many mothers give a spoonful or two to'their growing children. Every can of Mazola reaches you in a sealed-tight, sanitary tin, and you, the consumer, are the first person to touch its contents. Once you try tiie modern method ot frying with Mazola you will never go back to using grease. AN IMPORTANT FACT "Maxola is as delicious and good to eat as the corn from which it comes."
