OVAL WOOD Cookery Dishes

Should be Used in All Paper Bag Cooking

_They are as Important as the Bags_

Because they conserve all the delicate meat and vegetable juices, adding a savory flavor to everything cooked in them.

With our Cookery Dishes you can give to all meats the delicious taste which has heretofore been secured only by planking steaks and fish.

The sweet wood--we use sugar-maple only--is always fresh, giving an effect that cannot be maintained permanently by the ordinary plank.

Everything that can be cooked in a paper bag tastes better if you use our Cookery Dishes also.

ASK YOUR DEALER ABOUT THEM

They are packed in cartons suitable for all purposes, assuring the delivery of clean and sanitary dishes in your kitchen.

Refined Vegetable Oil

Is recommended by physicians and culinary experts in place of butter and animal fats for all cooking; it is more healthful and economical.

Wesson Snowdrift Oil The Best Refined Vegetable Oil Is Unexcelled for Greasing Paper Bags

You can buy many different kinds of vegetable oils, but you can't get anything equal to Wesson Snowdrift Oil. It is refined by the Wesson process (the only process yet discovered for properly refining vegetable oils) and we control that process. No other manufacturer can use it. ¶Wesson Snowdrift Oil has just the right smoothness and consistency to make rich and delicious salad dressings.

AT ALL GROCERS

On request, we will mail you our Wesson Snowdrift Oil book of 150 recipes. Please mention your grocer's name.

The Cookery Bag Clip

is the only _successful_ device for effectually closing Paper Cookery Bags

The projecting lips permit the clips to slip on to the bags easily; the free ends projecting outwardly prevent the clips slipping off the bag when in use.
