Wouldn't It Make You Mad after you had carefully searched and dearly paid for canned goods supposed to be the best, to find upon opening them that they proved to be of ordinary and inferior quality;
or a "pig in a bag"
When buying canned goods you do it on faith, you cannot see the inside of the can, therefore be sure to get a standard brand.
"ROYAL SCARLETT"
(56 Varieties and Styles in Glass and Tins)
is the standard, and the Fish, Fruits and Vegetables bearing that brand are all guaranteed to be the finest in the land. You never run a chance of getting a pig in a bag when you buy "ROYAL SCARLETT"
Delivereries made with "train time" exactness.
