Blend Flour Best
A straight hard wheat flour is peculiarly suited to jf
certain uses; but the housewife finds it hard to work. I
•J A straight soft wheat flour also has its good qualities.
CJj But the professional baker, the man who makes his living
working every day with flour, has learned that a judicious
mixture of hard and soft wheats, gives best results.
«il Aiming to produce a per feet all-purpose flour, the Fisher Flour
ing Mills have had the foregoing facts in mind.
€JJ Fisher's Blend Flour is not a haphazard combination of hard and
soft wheat. It is the result of careful experimentation covering a long
period, to ascertain the proper proportions of each to get the fullest
advantage of their particular qualities in the blend.

chincry being required for each. Then they are combined scientifically. In
this way, the full strength is saved.
For household purposes, blend flour will supersede all other varie
ties. when its advantages are generally known.
> tj Fisi»er's Blend Flour is a pleasure to knead and a joy to bake.
