The Three Crown Baking Powder manufac-
tured by Hewlett Bros, has been submitted to me
for analysis, and I find it to compare favorably with
the very best brands sold at the present time. In
fact, if there is any difference between the Three
Crown and those conceded by almost everybody to
be the best powders on the market, the Three Crown
Baking Powder has the Greater Leavening
strength and Purity, j. t. KincsBOf^y. chemist, UNIVERSITY OF UTAH.
