PILLSBURY’S ALWAYS THE BEST.

Attacks on the Celebrated Brands of Flour of the Pillsbury. Washburn Company FaU Flat. The National Pure Food Exposition, now being held at Battery D, is a financial and artistic success. There is an interesting rivalry between the exhibiters that furnishes both profit and amusement to the visitors. The only thing to be regretted is that the representative of a brand of flour appears to think it necessary to make absura and unreliable statements about the well-known Pillsbury brand of flour in order to call attention to the merits of the product which he represents. His statements, probably unauthorized and made without the knowledge of his employers, are not only absurd, but are offensive to the thousands of, visitors who know that Pillsbury’s Best is without a rival in the flour markets of the world. For twenty-four years it has maintained its supremacy, being the first patent process flour to be placed upon this market. It has established itself in the affections of nearly every housewife in the land. Thera is not a baker or bread-maker that does not know that Pillsbury’s Best it the best. Other flours are often used because retailers find it more profitable, for the time being, to sell flours which cost them less and consequently give them a larger profit. The Pillsbury Mills are the largest in the world and the Pillsbury flour is universally conceded to be the brand par excellence. Consumers say that manufacturers of other patent flours baye never yet succeeded in maintaining the high standard without variation for a series of years, which appears to be a secret known only to the makers of Pillsbury's Best. There is a market for flours of all grades and makes, and it is to be regretted that the representative of any firm should have the mistaken idea that sales can be made by misrepresenting a flour of international reputation. This representative also attacks the celebrated brand of Washburn’s Best, also made by the Pillsbury-Washburn Flour Mills company, as an imitation of some of the brands of flour made by the WashburnCrosby company. This is very amusing, and simply shows dense ignorance when the fact is known that the brand of Washburn’s Best has been on the markets of this country twenty years, while the present brand of Washburn-Crosby’s superlative it only three years old.
