True

The difference of cost between
good and poor baking pow

ilys supply to one dollar year.
The poor powder would cost
many times this in doctors bills.
Royal Baking Powder may cost a little
more per can, but it insures perfect,
wholesome food In fact, it is more
economical in the end, because it goes
further in leavening and never spoils
the food.
Royal Baking Powder used always in
