PURE VERMONT MAPLE SYRUP 
Griddlecakes or Waffles and Syrup. Um! Um! 
If you have never eaten the pure unadulterated Vermont Syrup you don’t 
know what you have missed. The black blended concoctions sold throughout 
the country as Maple Syrup are not to be compared with the real. Vermont 
Syrup. Then a lot of Vermont Maple products are not of good quality. I am 
a connoisseur of good syrup and send out only the best grade such as I would 
eat myself. 
Maple Syrup may be pure in the sense that it is not adulterated, but it 
may be terrible stuff just the same. High grade Maple Syrup should be light 
in color, have a very distinctive pleasant maple taste, should weigh eleven 
(11) pee to the gallon and should be tested for lead and must be lead free, 
all of which standards my syrup meets. Many people in other parts of the 
country think that light maple syrup is adulterated. This is not correct. If 
syrup is dark colored, it is because of unclean utensils or improper methods 
of making. ‘To produce first class syrup, everything must be absolutely clean, 
and the sap must be boiled promptly and the syrup must be strained to remove 
what we call maple sand. You will find none of this in my syrup. Don’t be 
misled by low priced syrup as there are innumerable grades, and even though 
you may save a few cents on the price, you may get a very inferior article. 
The demand for maple syrup this past year has been much greater than 
ever before. But I do still have a small supply. When this is gone there will 
be no more till next April or May and I doubt very much that I shall carry 
it next season. Due to conditions imposed upon the industry by the OPA 
there is a flourishing black market in maple syrup so that it is difficult to 
get good quality and very little profit in it. | may possibly have a very small 
-amount for some of my old customers but don’t think I shall handle it in 
quantity as before. So better order at once before the present supply is gone.

15c for each case of pints or one-half pints. If you do not send money 
for this extra packing we will ship in the regular way.
