THIS book contains a number of excellent recipes and formulas that are Absolutely Worthless unless you use pure, fresh, clean spices

Thanks to the strict regulations of the "Pure Food Law," the spices now in the market are practically pure. But this does not at all signify that they are good spices.

For example: Cinnamon bark can be harvested from old trees with woody, fibrous bark, containing very little of the aromatic principle; but it should be collected from young sprigs on four-year-old trees.

Both are pure, but only the latter will give the right flavor. And this is true of almost every kind of spice.

Get your spices from me. I know how to buy the right kind, and I keep them properly.

Buy small quantities, and don't get the kind in paper boxes that dealers carry on their shelves sometimes for 6 months or more.

Let me supply you with spices of all kinds.

You will quickly observe a difference.
