ROYAL BAKING POWDER Absolutely Pure The official Government tests show Royal Baking Powder to be an absolutely pure and healthful grape cream of tartar baking powder, and care should be taken to prevent the substitution of any other brand in its place. With no other agent can biscuit, cake and hot-breads be made so pure, healthful and delicious. Royal Baking Powder costs only a fair price per pound, and is cheaper and better at its price than any other baking powder in the world. It makes pure, dean, healthful food.
