is new producing “Maritime iiiaiii”'Biscuits, which ' are “Better-far Better”.

For an industry to be born in the Maritime Provinces during a per- iod of business depression, like that through which we are at present passing, is an outstanding event, a really remarkable thing. While most industries are ﬁnding the struggle for existence rather dilficult, a new manufacturing plant comes into being, a splendid new Brick Factory is built, up-to-the-minute machinery and equipment are installed, thirty highly skilled workmen and workwomen are gathered together and the Brown-Holder plant gets away to a wonderful start.

Easily the most modern and best equipped Biscuit Factory in East- i ern Canada; the Brown-Holder goods being produced are in a class by themselves, completely justifying the slogan “Better-Far Better.”

“Maritime Maid” Biscuits are something new, something pleasing, something diiferent. Ask your grocer for them and refuse any substitute. Helpto keep the wheels of Maritime industry turning by purchasing and eating “Maritime Maid" Biscuits, which are manufactured from the best ingredients that money can bay; in a factory, built for the purpose.

L ' - .l Among our lines are the following “Maritime Maids”:-

L 7 . _._‘ . ' Ruth, Norah, Peggy, Alice, Helen, Muriel, Ann, Marie, Jean, Pearl,_ Betty, May, Mona, Sally, Doris and Dot.

We put up in attractive packages, Maritime Mixed, Fancy Assort- ed, Cream Sodas, MilkvMunchies, Boston Pilot. and many other lines.

v

Give the Maritime’s newest industry your sym- pathetic support. We are waiting to serve you with “Maritime Maid” Biscuits ious, wholesome and good.
