While doing some background research on my grandparents’ time working at the National Biscuit Company in the 1910s, I happened upon this advertisement.
“The people of the United States are known all over the world as a Nation of dyspeptics….” (Uneeda Biscuit ad, 1912)
Nothing could be truer, even today.
