The prestige of the Royal Baking Powder and its constant success are matters of anxious con cern to envious competitors. It is noted that advertisements of other baking powders are filled with spleen, malice and mis representation against the Royal, more than with honest claims as to their own goods. That the Royal Baking Powder makes finer, whiter, sweeter, more wholesome cookery, the ladies who have tried other kinds are willing to testify and tell their neighbors; this fact is a serious concern to all competitors. The superb quality of the Royal Baking Pow der, over and above all other kinds, is never so manifest as when tried in comparison. It has greater strength and does not deteriorate with age, the last spoonful in the can being as good as the first. All over this country the "Royal" has the lead ; this is why makers of other brands envious of its sale and popularity, Ulk so much about it. touej ami f - i " AX r. i.3 WsiV -: i.. si! .j l 1801 - FOR THK Nothinj; is Nicer Than : !
