start the day right
That’s what the doctors tell us, that’s what the food ex
perts tell us, and a good breakfast is a mighty factor in
launching the day right. Fine ham or bacon will help to
make the breakfast a success—it will go a long way to
ward giving you the right kind of start you need, wheth*
er the day is to be devoted to business or pleasure or both.
Try a slice of FRYE’S DELICIOUS HAM or a few strips
of FRYE’S DELICIOUS BACON. You will say you
never tasted any ham or bacon just quite as good—that’s
because they are made from tender, young, grain-fed
pork cured and smoked (with hard wood smoke) by the
original FRYE process, which gives the meat a mild, rich
flavor, retaining the fine, natural juices.
CABBAGE WITH BACON DRESSING
INGREDIENTS: Quarter cup diced
FRYE’S DELICIOUS BACON, two
tablespoons WILD ROSE LARD, 2
tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, y2
teaspoon paprika, 1 tablespoon minced

water and seasoning, cover tightly
and cook 20 minutes. Beat egg in
vegetable dish with bacon, stir in hot
cabbage and juice, cover dish and
serve at once.
The housewife who tries FRYE’S WILD
ROSE LARD will appreciate our having
called her attention to it, for the rich leaf
and back fats used in the making, place it
far ahead of ordinary lard. It comes in tin
containers and one pound cartons.
