Penny Pinching
Not Always True
Economy

The housewife = SChooled in really
scientific domestic economy-no longer
throws away a nickel to save a penny.
A good way to illustrate this would be
through comparison OF the wholesome
ness efficiency and economy of plain -four and
standard baking powder and so-called self
rising flour. 1t doesn't pay to buy self-riSng -four
Most of it is made of low grade materials
1t causes many bake-day failures and great
loss of expensive baking ingredients.
The housewife will throw out in
wasted materials many times the amount she
hopes to save. Beside, self rising flour has
tendency to get lumpy and that's another waste.
But what is most important the housewife gets
less in return as far as food value is concerned
than if she purchased plain -four and
standard baking powder.
True economy in baking powder de-
mands the highest quality at the lowest price.
A Baking Powder made only of the highest
class ingredients obtainable, so sklfuly and
accurately proportioned that it not only pro-
duceS the maximum of leavening power but
conserveS that power, retains its strength and is
unfailing in results, is economical IN cost and
use. The housewife saves when she buys it.
She saves when she uses it - and she saves the
materials with which it is used. That is economy
in its highest form-the only kind of economy
the housewife should attempt to practice.
