PREIupIcE.

fh6JOptGEs
Curious to state, prejudice keeps
us out of more good things than does
lack of opportunity.
We often pass by an article Of merit
because the price Is low. The same
article at double the price would find
us eager to try 1t. K G Baking Pow
der sells for one-third the price Of the
Baking Powders controlled by the
Trust"
Yet X G Is guaranteed the Best
Baking Powder at any price,.
The ladies' OF this city who have
seen what K G Baking Powder will do
prefer 1t to any other. They are only
too glad to save their money and get
a better article. It's the difference
between ''Trust" prices and those OF
fair, honest competition.
A rs ounce can Of X O Baking
Powder for rs cents,-and your money
