something the Public Should
Know.

The articles anonymous and otherwise,
appearing from time to time In the news
papers, making unfavorable reference to
Cleveland's baking powder are from rival
baking powder Company. These articles
are intended to counteract, If possible, the
letter to the public from General Hurst, late
Ohio State Dairy & Food Commissioner, in
which he states that the Ohio Commlsslon's
Investigation of the baking powders, based
upon the State Chemists analyses of thirty
different brands, proves that Clevelan1's Is
strictly pure cream of tartar baking pow
der, entirely flee from alum. ammonia,
lime, &C., and that it is absolutely the best
and most desirable baking powder manu-.
featured; also, that the Royal baking pow
lder contains ammonia, and that the Cleve-
and's is superior to the Royal in every
quality of excellence. Another object sought
by our competitors in the articles referred
to is To divert public attention from the
scsthing hui well merited rebuke admins
tered to them by General Hurst for fasify-
ing his official report in their effort to boil
oVNi hP ehCii oohihB poWdOi NuCh IL Coui-
pares so unfavorabiy with Cleveland's pow
der.
1t is quite time that the public is made
aware of the deceptive character of the ad-
ivertising OF the baking powder Company y
n question, While extravagantly advertis-
ing their powder they have shrewdly con-
cealed their use of ammonia 10 its manu-
| facture and have persistently maligned
Cleveland's powder.
Clevelands superior baking powder has
never been made of anything but purest
grape team of tartar, purest bicarbonate of
soda, and small portion of wheat flour or
starch, and has always been absolutely free
from adulteration. This is attested by the
leading chemists in different parts of the
country from analyses made of our powder
purchased by them in oren market in their
respective localities, as shown by their GER
ti1cates In the circular accompanying each
can. We ask the public to show its disap.
proval of the despicable advertising meth
DDS referred to by extending its patronage
to Cleveand's superior baking powder
which has for eighteen years been first in
point of merit as pure, efficient, and
healthful bread leavening agent.
