Many meo and boys who buy all their other furnishings here have never thought of asking for Caps.

As one ofthem said the other day “Do you sell Caps? I never thoughs of this being a Cay store,”’

But it is,

And like everything else this stere does—it’s doing the cap business well.

As a matter of fact, sir, this isabout the best place in town to buy your cap.

More here to seiect from than you'll find in most stores. New styles —nice styles, and then— we don’t want any f.ney prices.

Now you know—yeu can’t get along without a cap—for wheeling—rowing — walking “knocking around” a cap is an every day necessity.

Gaps

Boy’s Caps. Men’s Caps. Nice caps are 22, 25, 28, 35, 28, 45, 55 and 65e, etc.

Absolutely BAKING ” Pure ee LPO WwW? ER

No inferior or impure ingredients are used in Royal for the purpose of cheapen- ing its cost; only the most highly refined and healthful.

Royal Baking Powder imparts that peculiar sweetness, flavor and delicacy noticed in the finest cake, biscuit, rolls, etc., which expert pastry cooks declare is unobtainable by the use of any other leavening agent.

Alum is used in making cheap baking powders. If you want to know the effect of alum upon the tender linings of. the stomach, touch a piece to your tongue. You can raise biscuit with alum baking powder, but at what a cost to health!
