Crisco-made cakes also have this advantage— they stay fresh and moist longer. Their tex- ture is unusually fine.

Crisco is creamed edible oil, tasteless, odor- less, and purely vegetable. It easily blends with all flours and other ingredients. It is a shortening you can depend upon any time and anywhere.

To use butter in cakes is an unneccessary expense for Crisco gives satisfactory results. and it costs only about half as much as butter.

Careful housekeepers like Crisco because it comes to them safe-guarded from impurities in sanitary, air-tight containers. Try it.
