A Distinctive Reason

What is the chief reason for the superb
orty of Royal Baking Powder?
There are several good reasons, but there
is one which distinguishes Royal from other
baking powders
This reason, which every woman should
know, is that Royal Baking Powder is made
from cream of tartar, which comes from
grapes. This means a hea1thfu1 fruit origin.
It means natural food as distinguished from
mineral substitutes used in other baking
powders
There is no alum nor phosphate in Royal
