Penny Pinching Not
Always True Economy
I have learned that the intelligent
housewife—the woman schooled in really scien-
tific domestic economy-no longer throws -away a nickel to
save a penny.
A good way to illustrate this point
would be through comparison.ofA baking
powders.
n
Experience has taught me—and mill-
ions of other women that it doesn't pay to buy
cheap baking powder?. They cost a few cents less, but in the
long run they are decidedly the most expensive. Because of
the low grade materials employed in their manufacture they
cause many bake day failures—and great loss of expensive
ingredients. The housewife throws out, in wasted materia!*
many times the amount saved on the cost of the baking pow-
der. This is not economy, but extravagance.
True economy in baking powder
demands the highest quality at the lowest price.
Only baking powders that meet these demands should be
used. Only baking powder that is made of the highest class
ingredients so perfectly proportioned that it not only produce!
maximum leavening power but also preservti it. Q
Besides, the baking powder that
meets the modern demand for economy should
be economical in use—full strength—economical in cost—■
secured at a moderate price. The housewife should be able
to effect a saving when buying—and another saving when
using—and she should save materials it is used with.
That is economy in its highest form.
Complete economy. The only kind of econ-
omy the housewife should attempt.
I have proved positively by exhaust-
ive experiments and comparative tests that
Calumet Baking Powder is best suited to these savings. It
possesses the surety, the purity and goodness that make
constant employment of utmost baking economy possible.
