An IMPORTANT FACT
aBoUT BAKING POWDER

Royal is the only nationally
distributed baking powder
made with Cream of Tartar
"a product of fresh, whole
some grapes. Pure Cream of
Tartar makes Royal cost
more per can-but the diff.
FERENCE per baking between
Royal and ordinary baking
powders is only a fraction
of a cent. Use dependable
Royal whenever you bake
its well worth the difference
