We were told by one of our progressive farmers one day recently, "My wife asked ine to pur­ chase some other brand of flour aside from the McHenry product because the family eats so much more of the bread made from the 'Early Riser brand." That rich 'flavor is what gets em all and for this reason said farmer could not accommodate his wife, and the family is still using the "Early Riser" brand. If you haven't given the McHenry product a fair trial do so at once. :: :: :: •• enry :iuur dim Feed Mills WEST mcntSNKV, iLUNUIB JOHN SPENCER. Prtp. What is tiic^r than a well furnished home?
