The price per tin is only a penny or two more than other brands giving less weight per Each large tin contains Mijoz. of pure, wholesome baking powder, being 2foz. to 4Joz. more than is contained in tins of other powders. The chief ingredient of Edmonds is genuine Grape Cream of Tartar—2o tons used every month.
