In this issue of the Tribune-Monitor will be found an advertisement of the Primel Company.

The people of the city are already familiar with the product manufactured and handled by the company and they need no introduction. The principal product is what is termed Primel -- a breakfast food that has an excellent health-giving appetizing quality, a food that no table in Fort Scott should be without, not alone because it is a local product but for the further good reason that it is good, wholesome food made of the very best cereals. Manager Vincent has outlined a campaign to place this product on the market like it never was before.

It is now in the hands of all grocers and if you have not yet partaken of this food ask your grocer to send you a package.

A trial package will convince you that it is just what you want for your morning meal.
