Baked potatoes, done to a "turn" were served with the steak. Hot biscuits, made by the hostess herself, were also served.

There were ripe olives, tomato ketchup, coffee and delicious butter which made the biscuits, taste exceptionally fine. For dessert were served some wonderful canned peaches and a large piece of chocolate cake, also made by the hostess. was privileged to be one of the guests at this Sunday night meal. I expressed my appreciation of the very good food and the splendid cooking and the hostess said: "Thank you, but I have served you with a plain meal, as you know, yet somehow I take greater pleasure in serving a plain meal because my guests usually like it better and besides think THE BEST THINGS ARE PLAIN." "Right," said "'The simple, substantial dishes are always the most satisfactory." I then remarked to my hostess: "The steak you served tastes as though it came from Wilson Chicago. You know I was in Chicago several weeks, going through the Wilson Co.

plant and I saw how they handle their beef. The Beef Department is a wonderful place. I saw how the beef goes through its several processes of treatment before it is shipped, how it is carefully guarded and inspected before it is allowed to go to the publie, and I want to tell you that I never felt so sure of the quality of the steaks and roasts I eat as I did after my inspection of the Wilson Co. Meat I assume that others in the packing industry are equally careful, but I know that Wilson Co. do to protect the consumers, so I am naturally predisposed in their favor.

'And the ripe olives you served and the butter and the canned peaches and the ketchup all tasted to me like Wilson Co. Then the hostess gave me a very great surprise by saying, with a smile: "You are right about the steak. It did come from Wilson Co. I bought it from my butcher, who says the ineats he gets from. Wilson Co.

are splendid and that he finds his customers like them very much. "The butter is Wilson Clearbrook Butter, and it is very fine. The coffee is Wilson Certified Blue Label Blend. Isn't it great? "I will tell you also that I used Wilson Majestic Lard in baking the biscuits. "The ripe olives and canned peaches and the ketchup also come from Wilson Co.

"I gave this dinner tonight in honor of you, because I know how enthusiastie you are about Wilson Co. food products, and now that I have had a taste of them myself I want to tell you, hereafter I am going to buy the foods that I see in the butcher shops and grocery stores wearing that reassuring guarantee. 'The Wilson Label Protects Your a wonderful trade-mark when one thinks of it and grasps its full meaning. I do all of the marketing for our home and I am very glad that you introduced me to the Wilson Co. products through your letters.

You have told so many nice things about the workers and the fine spirit they show, and you have told us SO much about Mr. Wilson and how fair and just he is that I just can't help supporting a house whose principles of business are so fine." Sincerely, William C. Freeman. 250 Fifth New York City..
