among other things, the following
to say in his defense: II have

competition in the Worlds Col
umbian Exposition, hence no ex-
animation or report was made Of
this brand in any way whatever.
Both Medal and Diploma for
superiority in baking powder were
awarded to Dir. Prices Cream Bak-
ing Powder, and this article, which
the Royal Baking Powder Com
kpany has the effrontery to ask the
press to publish, is a frantic att
tempt on the part Of that company
to steal credit for something to
which it is not entitled. The truth
or falsity of the above statement
may easily be substantiated by you
as the records are public. As to
the award ON baking powder, the
official notice appeared in the Chic.
ago papers on Tuesday, November
7th, 1898.
j We pride ourselves on the fac
that we have never asked the press
to publish any statement that W.
could not substantiate.
