Keeps Sweet on Pantry Shelf

There’s no need to put Spry in the refrigerator. It’s ALL-vegetable–contains not a trace of animal fat. It stays fresh and sweet indefinitely at room temperatures. That means Spry is never stiff and hard but always soft, creamy, ready to mix–quickly and easily–with the other ingredients. So keep Spry right on the pantry shelf.

Spry’s Superior Quality Never Varies

You can buy Spry with absolute confidence that every can will be of the same unvarying high quality–will give perfect cooking results every time. You can always depend on Spry. It’s made from the choicest vegetable oils, the very cream of them! Every step in making the product is carefully watched, every batch tested and re-tested. Every can of Spry is up to standard, a standard of purity and goodness never before achieved by any shortening manufacturer. No wonder food prepared with Spry always tastes so good, digests so easily.

The “Best Shortening I Ever Used–and the Most ECONOMICAL,” women say

And they’re absolutely right! Spry costs very little in the first place and you can use every bit of it. The very last spoonful in the can is as sweet and fresh as the first. You never lose the delicate flavor of cake or pastry that wins praise from family or guests. Spry brings out every last bit of flavor. Spry stays fresh and clear after repeated fryings, too. You can deep fry with it over and over–another saving. Make Spry your shortening for every use from now on. Enjoy cooking results you’ve never known before and save money, too.
