GOOBERINE FOR BETTER SHORTENING
Until about ten years ago there
was a feeling of uneasiness as to
the future supply of cooking fats.
I his uneasiness wus felt among
the packers, grocery-jobbers and
the sober-thinking public in.gen-
eral, as the only source of supply
canip from th*2 horr. which de-
mand was getting beyond the
supply, and our imported olive
oil which came too high for the
average use. About the time
this condition began to become
alarming, King Cotton, with its
cotton seed oil, came into its
own, and not only relieved this
shortage, but forced hog lard
down from one-third to one-half
its former relative value.
Now comes the dawn of the
peanut oil industry and with the
manufacture of Gooberine, the
trade name of t'.e shortening
made by the Texas Peanut
Works, we will have a product
■ that hids fair to dismantle both
hog lard and cotton seed oil
compound. Why? yon may ask.
The answer is easy. Just shell
a hand full of cotton seed and eat
them; then try the raw peanuts
and you will see the difference,
If the.raw peanut is palatable,
then naturally the oil would be
no less palatable. About one-
fourth the weight of the Spanish
peanuts is oil and this oil is per-
fectly odorless, colorlesand after
a little refining process it is per-
fectly tasteless. Naturally com-
pound made from the oil of the
white peanut would be prefer-
able to that made from cotton
seed oil, and for this reason 1
look forward to the time when
Gooberine will hold a predomi-
nant place in every American
kitchen.
