FULL FLAVOR AT ANY STRENGTH 1 "Better baking at a saving that counts in this family I" SAYS MRS. W. HICKEY, OF CHICAGO I'm paying the lowest prices ever for Calumet Baking Powder!" "CAKES AND COOKIES just disappear In my big family." laughs Mrs. Hickey. "So it's a big help when I can get a full pound can of my reliable, standby baking powder, Calumet, for only 25cl As long as I bake. Calumet will be in my pantry!" Grandfather Rommel, who waa a baker for 40 yeara, aaya, "Calumet takes tha guesswork out qf the job nowadays." T WHY la Calumet different from other baking powders? Why it such a small amount needed just a level teaspoon to a cup of sifted flour in most recipes? It's because Calumet combines two distinct leavening actions. A quick action for the mixing bowl et free by liquid. A slower action for the oven set free by heat. Calumet's Double-Action it so perfectly balanced and control!! that it produces perfect leavening. Calumet it a product of General Foods. 5 a mo. ff '4 "SEEMS TO ME I used to spend my life opening baking powder cans for you!" Mr. Hickey remarks. "This new Calumet Eaiy-Opening Top is a cinch!"
