We make an exquisite corn meal, and put it up in sealed round packages. In Quaker Corn Meal we use the cream of the corn — about 60 per cent of the kernel. The fibrous outer coat is removed, because, it makes corn meal coarse. The oily germ is removed, because the oil grows rancid. Just the hominy part — yellow or white — is ground to make Quaker Corn Meal. The result is superlative corn meal, yellow or white. The yellow looks like gmins of gpld —the white like marble dust. It makes bread and muffins, porridge, puddings and pancakes vastly better than any crude corn meal. Get the Yellow or White in round packages with tops. See how good corn meal can be.
