Serv-us 3 52 PURE FOOD CO- RN YORK & CHICAGO - SERV-US MINCE MEAT Package condensed mince meat is made up today of the best quality of dried fruit and other items which can be found, all of which are found in the United States with the exception of spices and currants. The study of packing condensed mince meat has ex- tended over a period of 100 years and today is _as near its perfection as we can possibly conceive. The sanitation in the factories in which it is packed is beyond reproach as the competition todgy in these lines necessitates the guarding of the most minute detail of the business. The apples used are of the best grade of New York State, where in our opinion is grown the best flavored apple known. The raisins used are of the best quality seeded variety. No expense is con- sidered in procurring the very highest grade of spices, and sugar, as we all know, is always sugar, the different grades merely representing the differ- ent flavors or different granulation re- quired for different purposes. Every particle of fruit or any other article used in the manufacture of mince meat is thoroughly cleaned and hand-picked by people trained to know what should and should not be used and in this manner the article comes to the house- wife cleaner by far than she could possibly take the same articles in her own kitchen, regardless of how clean it may be, and make up the filler for her mince pie. The old idea of dirt being prevalent in quantity is today disputed by the greatest authorities on food products. The meat used In mince meat is of the choicest and to- day the same corn-beef which you' and I would use on our table is what is being used in Serv-us Mince Meat. There are very few pies made which | can be used as handily by the house- wife as mince meat for all it requires is a little water and being heated for ten minutes and it is ready for the crust and then the table and she may | without fear of loss carry three or | four packages of mince meat in her pantry, having it ready at any time for the chance occurrence of unexpect.- | ed company and it will be a good dessert free from dirt. It is our; thorough belief that a mince meat ple | made from co: d mince meat is about as cheap a dessert as can be ! prepared and yet as good.. { For many years mince meat was considered a winter dish. Each year | for the last ten our factory has had | to increasé its capacity during the ' summer months until foday it runs uverydnyo!thcya-rvm:-mhr force. of helpers. 'We ship goods to | every part of the country the entire ‘which means an in- sale over the former winter |
