Don't think of 

 Uneeda Biscuit 

 as a mere lunch ne- 

 cessity, or as a bite 

 between meals. 



Uneeda Biscuit are the most nutritious 

 food made from flour, and are full of 

 energizing, strength- giving power. 



Uneeda Biscuit are always crisp 

 and fresh and delicious when you 

 buy them. Their sensible, dust 

 tight, moisture proof packages 

 prevent the unclean, tough con- 

 dition so common to 

 ordinary crackers.
