opened, and for this purpose the hatch-
et is generally used. One night a
knock was heard at the door and a boy

"Who’s there?" asked the youngster,
"It's me," answered the person out-

The youngster, knowing the voice,
shouted book in such a tone that the

Post Toasties
You may have eaten "com flakes"
but you have never tasted any that
equal the New Post Toasties.
These new flakes, madam, are
crisp and flakey, and have a substance
and toastie flavour, a snap and zest that
make them distinctive.
Dainty to be sure in their sweetness, the New Post Toasties have a
body and firmness that don’t mush down when cream or milk is added;
and a true ripe-com flavour that makes one feel that here, at last, is
something really new and good to eat.
New Post Toasties—selected Indian com, prepared for the table as
it was never prepared before.
