From
High Government Authority.
No authority of greater experience on food products ex
ists than Dr. Henry A. Mott, of New York. Dr. Mott's wide
experience as Government Chemist for the Indian Depart
ment, gave him exceptional opportunities to acquaint himself
with the qualities and constituent parts of baking powders.
He understands thoroughly the comparative value of every
brand in the market, and has from time to time expressed
his opinion thereof. On a recent careful re-examination and
analysis he finds
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder
superior to all others in strength, purity, and efficiency. Dr.
Mott writes :
" New York, March joth, 1894.
I find Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder to be superior
to all others, for the following reasons :
1st It liberates the greatest amount of leavening gas
and is consequently more efficient.
2nd. The ingredients used in its preparation are of the
purest character.
3rd. Its keeping qualities are excellent.
4th. On account of the purity of the materials and their
relative proportions, Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder must
be considered the acme cf perfection as regards wholesomcness
and efficiency, and I say this having in mind certificates I
have given several years ago respecting two other baking
powders.
The reasons for the change in my opinion are based on
the above facts and the new method adopted to prevent your
baking powder from caking and deteriorating in strength.
