[ECAUSE inferior and cheaper made baking
preparations arc bought at wholesale at a price
so much lowf than Royal, some grocers are
urging consumers to uLe them in placc of the Royal at
the same retail price.
If you desire to try any oi the pretended substitutes
for Royal Baking Powder bear in mind that they are
all made from cheaper and inferior ingredients, and are
not so great in leavening Etrengtii nor of cqull money
value. Pay the price of the Royal Baking Powder
for the Royal only.
It is still more important, however, that Royal Baking
Powder is purer and more wholesome, and makes better^
finer, and more healthful food than any other#baking
powder or preparation. *
