P^W^^^^y was written by Victor Hugo ; m N^/ c jjjjjg'g command was also written the title " jLjig lioj'al Cocoa Factory" of C. J-. Van Houten & Zoon. By command of King William 111. the works of the worldfamed Cocoa Manufacturers were styled as above. The title is peculiarly appropriate, and more so than it may appear ab first sight, for the whole of the civilized world has recognised Van Houten's Cocoa as " The King of Cocoas "°and it is only right that the King of Cocoas should be produced at the Eoyal Cocoa Factory. It has been so called because it is quite pure; it is highly digestible; and it is soluble to a degree unapproached by any other cocoa in existence. It is cheap; it costs less than one farthing per cup; it is easily assimilated and digested by the weakest stomach.; and it contains more nourishment than an equal quantity of beef-tea. Easily made, appetizing in aroma/and o£ most delicious taste. HAVE YOU TRIED j VAN HOUTEN'S Eating CHOCOLATE P j
