Make your cake with Snowdrift—grease the pans with Snowdrift—and make the icing with Snowdrift. Try Snowdrift in pie-crust—rich, tender, flaky. Snowdrift may not make you a better cook, but the family are likely to think so. Make donghnuts with Snowdrift— and then fry the doughnuts in Snowdrift Every use for a shortening or frying-fat is an opportunity to find out how good Snowdrift is. And uvsing Snowdrift in your own favorite recipes is the best way of all to find out how much better it 1s than any fat you ever used before. The Wesson Oil people make Snowdrift out of oil as good as fine salad oil—hardened and whipped into a creamy white fat—and packed in an airtight can to keep it as sweet and fresh as the day it was made. Try it in your favorite cake. It is much easier to cream because it is al- ready so creamy itself. It is so delicate that it makes your cake very rich without changing the flavor. Tt is 100% pure fat, without salt or water, so add a pinch of salt if you have been using butter in your recipe. Try Snowdrift in your favorite biscuit recipe and see how good biscuit can be. a rich creamy for making cake, biscuit a Snowdrift Fry in Snowdrift and see how delicious and wholesome fried food can be. A crispy brown crust forms so quickly that the food does not absorb too much fat and, inside this thin crust, cooks to a tempting light- ness and daintiness. Snowdrift is very economical as a frying fat —especially in deep frying. Strain it, to re- move any crumbs of food, and you can use it overand over again for frying different things. This is true to some extentyof any fat. But here is one advantage of Snowdrift. Tt will not absorb the odor or flavor of any food cooked in it—not even fish nor onions. You may use it over and over again. And Snowdrift is not altered much by heating to cooking temperature. Much cook- ing fat has to be thrown out after you have used it a few times But Snowdrift is altered so little by heating that you can use it up and not waste it. It is almost as good the last time you usc it as the first, cooking fat nd pastry and for frying “REGENT” TOPCOAT The newest overplaids, the newest colorings Pure Wool Close Fitting Smartly Tailored $25 All-Wool, Superbly-Tailored Artistically Designed, Perfect Fitting ONE and 2-PANTS SUITS and TOP COATS Made in our Tailor Plant.
