As wheat and other grain prices
surge upward, we can look back to a time when it wasn’t quite as pricey. Check out this early 1900’s ad for Holly Flour and the Mills of Lilly, Bogardus & Co. of Seattle. It makes me nostalgic for a time when speculators didn’t jerk our lives around so much. Give the image a click while you’re thinking of the old times.

“This is the Flour that makes the Bread that makes the Men of Alaska. Its Holly Flour that’s what it is. From the Mills of Lilly, Bogardus & Co., Seattle.” Early 1900’s advertisement.

And is the woman blind? Where’s her measuring cup? Does she know how much flour she’s putting in that bowl? Is she even following a recipe?! The bread probably DOES make the men of Alaska, it makes them have intestinal distress!
