In 1872 Cream-of-Tartar was 40 cents per pound; in 1892 it was 19 cents per pound. Have the high-price Baking Powder monopolists reduced their price? They have not!
“Calumet” was the first, and is the only high grade Baking Powder offered to the public at a moderate price. Its motto is:–
“Monopoly must yield to moderation–
Impurity must improve or go under–
‘Calumet’ is the standard.”
Calumet is still made, now owned by Kraft Foods. It is such a small part of their portfolio that it doesn’t rate a mention in their website except as a recipe ingredient. It is interesting to note that the Calumet Baking Powder company was sold to General Foods for $40 million.
At one site I see one can buy 30 pounds of Calumet Baking Powder for about $64.
