Adjudged The World's
Best Baking Powder
Yet Modestly Priced
Considerable matter Is being
disseminated these days In re
gard to substituting excess
quantities of baking powder for
eggs. If this information were
correct. Crescent Raking Pow
der would be the logical powder
to use In excess quantity, for it
contains egg albumen whites
of eggs. But no baking powder
can take the place of eggs no
matter how much may be paid
for the powder. We advocate
economy the kind of economy
that Judges product according
to their intrinsic worth, instead
of their price. If this is your
view, we invite your considera
tion of Crescent the Baking
Powder that was
adjudged the
world's best at
the P. P. I. Kx
position in 101. j
and sells at the
modest price of
25c a pound.
