To prove that, we would simply state thata large quantity of this magnificent Flour is shipped annually to Europe and eaten at the principal Courts of the old world. We GUARANTEE that it is made from selected hard wheat grown in Minnesota and Dakota It is an acknowledged fact, that in this Flour a perfe:t separation of the gluti- nous particles of the wheat berry and a thorough climi- ‘nation of all weak and starchy matter has at las! been reached, and is consequently more Nvrarrious, yield ing more bread to the barrel than any other Flour. The best trade admits that from its bread-making qualities itis the cheapest, as well as the best, for either family or baker's use, and unsurpassed by any Flour maide. Every sack aud every barrel is warranted to give entire satinfaction. STERLING’S ST. LOUIS FANCY.
