Many companies have placed an article before the public selling at a much lower cost to the consumer than ROYAL BAKING POWDER. With RÖYAL'S facilities and knowledge in the manufacture of baking powder it would be easy for them to manu- facture a cheap baking powder to sell at an even lower price than others. However, ROYAL representatives realize the many advantages in selling a product for which no excuses peed be offered and ROYAL customers will undoubtedly realize the many advantages in buying a product of unquest- ionable quality.
