ANDREWS PEARL BAKING POWDER co.
MAKES STATEMENTS THAT ADMIT OF no
DOUBTS on THE SUBJECT AND EASILY US.
DERsTooD BY INTERESTED PARTIES,
We have never considered ourselves self
constituted philanthropists like the Royal
Baking Powder Co., to make invldious com
parsons OF our competitors goods through
the press or to pay chemists to make them
for us, or to allude to them by name in con-
ccaled advertisements in order to increase
the sale of Andrews Pearl Baking Powder.
We do not find any high.minded, first
class, reputable manufacturers in any class
of business, like Kingsford, or Duryea's
Starch Company, or Rabbits Soap Compa-
ny, resorting TO this method of seeking
trade, which would bring upon them, as 1t
always does, the scorn and contempt of
every honest business man in the country.
The Royal Baking Powder Co. still per
sists in publishing that Andrews Baking
Powdercoutains alum, having been 50 de-
cided, as they say, by DR.. Love, government
chemist for the Indian department, al.
though we stated through the press, some
time ago, that we made and sold two kinds
of baking powder, of different qualities as
the trade might demand, making no mis-.
representation when the goods were sold.
But the Royal Baking Powder Co. takes
this method of inducing the public to infer
that the cream tartar power sold under our
brand of Andrews Pearl, is the one referred
to under the ambiguous form OF Andrews
Baking Powder contains alum" and sus-
tanned by the analysis of the government
chemist for the Indian department, instead
of giving the names Of our brands which
are prominently printed upon our labels.
In order to settle this question perma.
nently and ascertain if our baking powder
known and sold under the brand of
Andrews Pearl is meant we make this
public challenge
