Keep the Home Baking Safeguarded
Housekeepers who have always used Royal Baking Powder with utmost
satisfaction are sometimes misled into experimenting with baking powders
containing questionable ingredients.
No real economy is thus accomplished--in fact, the use of an
unwholesome, undependable baking powder often produces a bitter taste in
the food which makes it unappetizing and sometimes inedible, to say
nothing of the injurious effect produced upon the digestive system.
Royal Baking Powder is most economical. Its well-known dependability
makes baking success simpler and surer, thus preventing loss of eggs,
flour, butter and other ingredients. Only the best materials are used in
its production--pure cream of tartar and tartaric acid, derived from
grapes, bicarbonate of soda and corn starch, all scientifically blended
and perfectly balanced. The best is always the most economical.
=To insure food that is always delicious, wholesome and appetizing,
insist on using Royal Baking Powder which is made from Cream of Tartar,
derived from grapes.=
BAKE IT WITH ROYAL AND BE SURE
has been the motto for fifty years in millions of homes where good food
is recognized as the first essential of good health and where pride is
taken in good baking.
One of the distinctive qualities of food baked with Royal Baking Powder
is _wholesomeness_.
This is health insurance of such vital importance that millions of women
bake at home just to be sure that Royal Baking Powder is used.
_Remember the adage_--
"Bake it with Royal and be sure."
