Assorted Information

Can’t Cook Like Mom


Heartbreaking advertisement. A young couple marries, but only days after the wedding he tells her that she can’t cook as mother did. The poor bride’s once radiant eyes have now lost the life-light of happiness, and the bloom that once put a rose to shame has left her cheek. Fortunately there’s a happy ending. ROYAL BAKING POWDER solved all of their problems.
