Baking
Powder


The manufacturers of Royal
Baking Powder have always declined
to produce cheap baking powder
at the sacrifice of quality.
The Royal is made from the
most highly refined and wholesome
ingredients, and is the embodiment
of all the excellence possible to be
attained in the highest class baking
powder.
Royal Baking Powder costs only
fair price, and is cheaper at its
price than any similar article.

Samples of mixtures made in imitation Of baking
powders, but containing alum are frequently dis.

grocery stores. Such mixtures are dangerous
to use in food and in many cities their sale is
prohibited by law. Alum is corrosive poison, and
all physicians condemn baking powders containing it.
