Which Do You Prefer? It is important for reasons of health and practical economy for every housekeeper to ask herself this question: “ Do I prefer a pure baking powder like Royal, made of cream of tartar derived from grapes, or am I willing to use a baking powder made of alum or phosphate, both derived from mineral sources ?” The names of the ingredients printed on the label show whether the kind you are now using or any brand , new or old , that may be offered is a genuine cream of tartar powder, or merely a phosphate or alum compound. Royal Baking Powder contains no alum nor phosphate. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO. New York
