POTATO CHIPS

CAPITAL POTATO CHIPS

A real food as well as the most toothsome and appetizing of delicacies. The day is past when potato chips were considered simply as an attractive food with a delicious flavor suitable for use only on picnic trips. It is now knowr that Capital Potato Chips stimulate the digestive juices, encourage a healthful and wholesome appetite, and so is a food that should be eaten every day, both for its nourishment and its benefits. Besides being the only form in which potatoes can be prepared ready to serve, Capital Potato Chips are especially favored during the hot weather as the most tempting, appetizing and wholesome food. Obtainable at most stores in Indianapolis and vicinity.
