 The price of the NEW ENGLAND BAK. ING POWDER justifes the use of the very best materials. Consumers pay fair price for the best and get it.
 It is self evident that Baking Powders rep resented to be composed of the same materials as the NEW ENGLAND, and which are sold to dealers at less than the pure materials themselves are worth, cannot be pure
 The large demand for NEW ENGLAND BAKING POWDER, and consequent falling off in the sales of adulterated and inferior pow ders, has developed a spitefulness on the part of some manufacturers and dealers. Finding that the quality of the NEW ENGLAND cannot be successfully attacked new brands and close limitations, represented to be as good, are put on the market. With these they en- deavor to tempt dealers with low prices, and thus impose on consumers.
