Statements in the press and in the reports of the Pure Food Commis- 

 sioners show that there are on the market at this time many cocoas and 

 chocolates which have been treated with adulterants, more or less in- 

 jurious to health, for the purpose of cheapening the cost and giving a 

 fictitious appearance of richness and strength. The safest course for 

 consumers, therefore, is to buy goods bearing the name and trade- 

 mark of a well-known and reputable manufacturer, and to make sure 

 by a careful examination that they are getting what they order. 



Walter Baker & Co.'s cocoa and chocolate preparations are abso- 

 lutely pure, free from coloring matter, chemical solvents, or adulter- 

 ants of any kind, and are therefore in full conformity to the require- 

 ments of all National and State Pure Food Laws. 



WALTER BAKER & Co.'s REGISTERED GUARANTEE UNDER 

 NATIONAL PURE FOOD LAWS Is SERIAL No. 90.
