Every can is filled automatically avoiding exposure to outside Practicaily all first class grocers have quit handling bulk molasses, and are displaying Brer Rabbit on their shelves. First class grocers now carry Brer Rabbit - * _ OBSERVE THE CLEAN, WHOLESOME APPEARANCE OF Brer Rabbit Molasses on your grocer’s sheif. Contrast that with the sticky appearance of the average barrel—an object certainly ‘‘not to be handled with kid gloves.” 3 To avoid the common and low grades of molasses, be sure to ask for ‘Brer Rabbit__with the ‘“‘rabbits’’ on the label. You can get it in small, - ‘medium and large sizes_just as you prefer. What the U.S. Government says about molasses FOR BREAKFAST—IT’S HARD TO BEAT Brer Rabbit and Besides being an economical and wholesomnie plate, its food value is exceptional. The U. S.
