Recipes for many tempting and
delicious cakes are given in "Cake
Secrets." A dime ( in coin or stamps )
will bring you this famous recipe
book about
which a woman
recently wrote
us: "I wouldn't
sell mine for a
dollar if I knew 1
couldn't get an-
ther copy."
Nothing gives such won-
derful results in home made
cakes as Swans Down Cake
Flour ! You can have lighter,
whiter, finer, better cake-
pie crust — pastry, just as
you long to have it.
Swans Down is true econ-
omy; it saves all the costly
waste of cake disappoint-
ments.
