FLOUR Y TALK
L
J
i
It is not necessary for us to explain what
White Crest is for it is well known by the
patrons of Mesquite and even its notority
has spread to all the towns tributary to
Mesquite and we are having inquiries
from merchants at different towns who
have been requested by their customers to
handle this high grade flour. To those wc
say that White Crest is a high grade flour,
made from pure soft wheat and the best
flour we have ever used. It will cost you
a little more than Texas flour. Of course
no merchant will expect to buy a pure soft
wheat flour frcm the north at the price of
flour made from our Texas wheat. But
the increase in your sales will justify you
in handling it at a smaller profit. Re/
member we are sole agents for this mill
in Mesquite and we are going to keep the
price right. We received bills of lading
several days ago on a car of this celebrated
flour and no doubt will have it in our
house by the time you read this. Come
in and buy a sack and make the entire
family happy.
White Crest, per sack $1.65
