Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 6.—This | city and vicinity have been flooded with counterfeit half dollars recently and the United States officers be lieve the headquarters of the gang are in this city. A negro believed to be one of the gang’s tools was ar- rested yesterday. The counterfeit, a fine one, is on the new half dollar. The Royal made no exhibit and | was not entered for exhibition or | competition in the Worlds Columbi | an Exposition, hence no examination | or report wis made of this brand in any way whatever. Both Medal and Diploma for su periority in baking powders were awarded to Dr. Prices Cream Baking | Powder and this article which the | Royal Bakiug Powder Company has | the effrontery to ask the press to publish is a frantic attempt on the | part of that company to steal credit | for something to which it is not eu-| titled. The truth or falsity of the} above statements may easily be sub- | stantiated by you as the records are public. As to the award on boking | powder the official notice appeared | in the Chicago papers on Tuesday, | November 7th. 1893. We pride ourselves ou the fact, that we have never asked the press to publish any statement that we could not substantiate. On the contrary our willfal com petitor works on the principle that a lie is as good as the truth if persist-| ed in. The fair minded press will not, we are:sure, publish a falsehood kuow-) ingly, for the Royal Baking Powder company or any one else. Price Baking Powder Co.
