The manufacturers of "THEPURE" Baking
Powder in making their bow to the public
desire to frankly state few important facts
First-This Powder has been adopted and
Endorsed by the Wholesale Grocers' National
Association as the best pure cream of tartar
Baking Powder made.

assertions; the quality of the powder is ex-
pressed by the name.

for other powders; there are some powders
in the market which are very good, there are
far more that are poisonous; we KNOW ours
to be pure and of the highest class.
Fourth-Realizing that results alone can
prove the merit Of any article, we believe
that "THEPURE" Baking Powder, which is
an advancement in Modern Discovery and
Science, will furnish results for the house
hold never before accomplished, thus PROV
ing helpful to the health and popular with

powder careful trial and are confident that
it will obtain precedence over all others in

it: A plate made of the finest gold, con-

from Heaven and was found in the

son who saw 1t fall. The inscription is
as follows: From the month of June,
1890, God Himself will rule as Emperor
of Hindoostan, incarnating Himself in
human form. From that time forward
there will be justice all over the world,
