Don't risk failures with poor-quality baking powder SUCCESSFUL hostesses have depended on Royal Baking Powder for perfect cakes for over 65 years.
You, too, will find it's easy to make light, fluffy, even-textured cakes with this famous fine-quality baking powder. For Royal is al- ways uniform, always reliable. It' gives you the same perfect results-
every time!
That's the reason it's foolish to risk the waste of good cake ingre- dients by using an inferior, poor-quality baking powder. Especially when the cost of Royal is so low.
Always insist on getting genuine Royal Baking Powder. Ask for it by name. Order a tin to-day.
