Ovaltine" has grown to such an extent that it
is now a recognised household necessity in every coun- try in the world. This wonderful success is due to the fact that "Ovaltine" represents one of the tri- umphs of scientific research in dietetics. The object of prolonged investigation by some of the most eminent scientists and chemists was to produce a food beverage. in which every food element necessary for health was present in a correctly balanced, soncentrated and easi- ly digested form.
THE PERFECT FOOD BEVERAGE The manufacturers of "Ovaltine are by far the lar- gest purchasers in the world of mult and milk for the manufacture of a proprietary food. They are. there-" fore able to purchase, at the lowest cost, the best qua "lities of these products of Britain's farms, and fields, They are also the argent ugers of new jaid eggs. Twelve and a half million eggs are used each year and are obtained from the "Ovaltine" Egg Farm and specially selected sources.
AT LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICES
The combination of these factors up-to-date machin ery, enormous output and world-wide sales reduce. the cost of production to a minimum, and makes it possible to sell "Ovaltine" at the present low prices. It has always been a principle of the proprietors to pass on to the public, by reducing prices, all savings in manufacturing costs.
