Destroyed By Fire And Again At Work

The Price Baking Powder Company ofChicago, which is known throughout the country for the superior excellence of its Baking Powder, met with a serious loss on the morning of May 18th, in the nearly total destruction by üre of its factory and offices. No sooner had the flames been subdued than the work of restoration commenced, and the Company by prudent foresight having had stored in outside vvarehouses duplícate machinery, labels and supplies of raw materials in preparation for any emergency, was enabled by energetic management to resume mauufacturing a very few days after tlie fire, thereby causing its customers but a trifling delay in the filling of their orders. Had the Company not been so prepared. the delay would have been very serious, since it would have required months of time to get new machinery. Itis now forty years since the goods manufactured by this eompany were first placed" on the market, to Dr. Price being due the distinction of having prepared the first can of Cream of Tartar Baking Powder ever manufactured in any country. It was a great discovery, superseding as it did the old raethod of using cream of tartar and soda separately, to say nothing of saleratus, with which the biscuit of early days was embittered. The Price Company has no connection whatever with any other baking powder company or manufacturer, notwithstanding represenrations to the contrary made by other manufacturers whose sole aim is to deceive the public and borrow the good name and fame acquired by the Price Cream Baking Powder, which is known all over the world as the purest and " most perfect made."
