Do You Realize That
Success in Baking
Depends Upon The Leavener?
Success in Baking
Depends Upon The Leavener?
In reality, if the baking powder is not PURE and PERFECT in its leavening qualities, food will be spoiled in spite of skill and care.
RUMFORD
THE WHOLESOME BAKING POWDER
leavens just right. RUMFORD makes the dough of a fine, even texture. It brings out in the biscuits, muffins, cakes or dumplings the natural, delicious flavor of the ingredients.
RUMFORD contains the phosphate necessary to the building of the bodily tissues, so essential to children.
Many helpful suggestions are contained in Janet McKenzie Hill's famous book "The Rumford Way of Cookery and Household Economy"— sent free.

"When it rains—it pours"
Discover it for yourself
TO READ about the virtues of Morton Salt isn't half so pleasant as finding them out for yourself.
MORTON SALT COMPANY, CHICAGOIt certainly gives you a sense of security and content to find that Morton's won't stick or cake in the package when you want it; that it pours in any weather—always ready; always convenient.
You'll like its distinct bracing flavor too. Better keep a couple of packages always handy.
