Your Breakfast Coffee will be a real joy-if
you prepare half-and-half with hot, rich Glaxo -the milk with the real English flavour.
Glaxo is the rich milk of British-bred dairy cows from which the water has been bred by the Glaxo Procesa. This process presents the urithing solids of the milk in the form of a dry powwhich, packed in a parchment bag inside an airtight led tin, comes to you across the seas with all its freshne and flavour unimpaired.
1
All you have to do is to add boiling water only (a kalf- pint to three dessertspoonfuls of Glaxo). Mix as much as you require when you require it--the rest will keep for a considerable period, if the tin be kept tightly closed and in a cool place.
