YOU don't have to use as
much of Calumet as you
do of most other Baking Powders.
Because it has more than the or
dinary leavening strength. You
save about half on its use.
You don't have to pay a big
price for Calumet It's sold at a mod
erate price. It always has been.
And that representsanother saving.
You don't have to feel uncer
tain as to results. Bakings never fail
because Calumet never falls below
the proven standard of "Best by Test"
It possesses the highest quality
ever put into a Baking Powder. Con
tains only such ingredients as have
been officially endorsed by United
States Food Authorities.
For weeks, for months it keeps as
fresh and full of strength as the day it
left the Calumet Factories, the World's
Largest most Sanitary and Modern
Baking Powder plants.
Every srxwnful of every can is the
same pure and dependable. Try it
A pound can of Calumet contains full
16 oz. Some baking powders come in
12 oz. cans instead of 16 oz. cans. Be
sure you get a pound when you want it.
Newspaper Advertising
Starts the Wheels
In November, business had a bluish cast.
The financial waters were troubled. t
' Corn and wheat and cotton were tumb
lingbusiness was halting and hesitating.
Everywhere you heard the croakers say,
"People are not buying."
Then the retailers took the cold plunge.
They began to readjust prices and offer in
ducements. And they advertised the fact advertis
ed it in the newspapers of their home cit
ies. They kept at itand kept at it.
After a bit, buying began to wake up
slowly at first, then in greater volume.
Progressive merchants who know news
paper advertising pulls progressively went
at it harder. 4
Business grew better and better, and by
the last part of December many merchants
were reporting record-breaking sales, and
taking the country as a whole, business
was good.
Newspaper advertising saved the day
and made it possible for the merchants to
clear their shelves and reorder from the
manufacturer thus loosening the clogged
stream of commerce and setting the fac
tory wheels in motion.
Newspaper advertising is the greatest
single business force on this continent to
day. USE THE CHRONICLE '
