Miss Chambers

Miss Chambers Says:

That Mr. Freihofer and in fact every one in the whole Freihofer organization can well be very proud of their new 4-STAR BREAD. It is so different than any bread I have ever used. It’s tender and well baked and makes such delicious sandwiches. It’s so rich and wholesome, children should be encouraged to eat several slices at each meal, for it is just chock full of the healthful energy that they need so much of. I heartily recommend it to all Indianapolis home managers.
