The reasons why Dooley's Yeast Powder is
preferred to any other Baking Powder in marke
are owing to its perfect purity quality, quantity
and economy. The ingredients are strictly free
from deeterious substances, and hence the full
strength of each are obtained, and the results
are uniform every time it is used This can not
be the case in those of ordinary manufacture
and for proof of our assertion we simply ask
those who have never used Dooley's Yeast Pow
der to give it a trial. Your Grocer keeps it.
