HOUSEKEEPERS ARE WARNED againso
the impositions of company of females, who,
under the lead of a male agent are now infesting
the kitchens of this city, performing trick which
they pretend is test of baking powders.
1t having been intimated that these persons
are the paid agents of the Royal Baking Powder
Company, this is to advise all concerned that this
Company has relation whatever to them, that
their socalled test is sham, and that the females
are instructed and employed to perform these
tricks and make false statements in all kitchens
to which they can gain access by concerns who
are trying to palm off upon housekeepers an
inferior brand of baking powder through the
operation of fallacious and deceptive methods.
The Royal Baking Powder Company in no
case employs such agents, and whenever the
name of this Company is used to gain entrance
to houses, the applicant, no matter how respec-
table in appearance, should be regarded and
treated as an imposter.
