One little "Ad" won't do it all.

More and more, thoughtful women are de
creasing the cost of living by increasing the
variety of their home baking. They have
learned to bake the Royal way with fewer
eggs. They have found that more baked
foods mean less meat They have further
discovered that their baking keeps fresh
longer when made with
Baking
Powder
Absolutely Pure
In many recipes, only half as many eggs are required, in
some none at all, if an additional quantity of Royal Baking
Powder is used, about a tea spoonful in place of each
egg omitted.
