From now on you don’t need to guess or wonder about the quality Every package of Land O’ Lakes Sweet Cream Butter contains a certificate of quality authorized by the United States This certificate is your assurance that the butter has been examined by a Government Grader and that it scores 93 or higher, which is the highest score of any widely distributed butter. - This certificate authorized by Uncle Sam is a guarantee to you and your family, and will stop all of your worries about butter quality. But you will néver know the wonderful sweet cream taste until you have eaten Land O’ Lakes Sweet Cream Butter. The difference in taste is the difference between sweet cream and sour cream. Prac- tically all butter is made of sour cream. Every pound of Land O’ Lakes Sweet Cream Butter is made only of fresh sweet cream from tested cows. That is why the sweet cream taste is as lovely and unforgetable as the fragrance of wild roses. Make This Simple Test First—Spread some ordinary butter on a piping hot piece of toast, Smell and taste it while it is hot. Second—Spread some Land O’ Lakes Sweet Cream Butter on a piping hot piece of toast. Smell and taste it while it is hot. A comparison of the odor and taste will tell the difference between ord ry butter made from sour cream and Land O’ Lakes, which ig made out of pure sweet cream. Then you will know why women will- ingly pay alittle more. foz%ml LAND OLAKES SWEET CREAM BUTTER On Sale at All ANITARY GROCERY CO. Y WIGGLY STORES You'll lovethe Sweet Cream Taste
