Baking Powder is a necessity. A good baking powder is essential to the comfort
and convenience of every home. The solving of the baking powder problem, to
produce for the American people and for the world a "perfect baking powder," —
one which should be not only efficient and practical, but should also fulfill all
desirable requirements from the standpoint of purity and health, — is an achieve-
ment of which any company of scientific men might feel proud, especially when they
are able to offer Ryzon, with all of its improvements over old-fashioned baking
powders, at a lower price than usually asked for high grade baking powder.
After having perfected Ryzon to their own satisfaction, officers of the General
Chemical Company indirectly sent samples of Ryzon to the most famous cooking
experts. They were asked to try this new baking powder, — which then had no
name, — and to say unreservedly what they thought. The replies were uniformly
that this was the most wonderful baking powder ever tried, that less was required
than of other baking powders, and that the results were perfect.
Finally, this new Ibaking powder was sent to one of America's greatest food
authorities, who was asked for his frank opinion of it from a health standpoint.
He wrote, in reply, that "Ryzon has qualities of excellence and physiological
relations which entitle it to the confidence and patronage of the public." His
opinion has been confirmed by other leading food experts of America.
This is the reason for Ryzon, which is a guaranteed American pure food product
of superior quality and efficiency, at a fair price.
