Family traditions have been important for a long time. A hundred years ago Royal Baking Powder advertised that the “fourth generation” was beginning to use it. It must be up to the 8th or 9th generation by now.

A Hundred Years Ago 
I love the photo because it is timeless. That looks like my rolling pin 🙂
I think not. It’s mine 😉
🙂
Mine, too. 🙂
I like these old-time advertisments. This one is very sweet!
I’m glad you liked it. I also thought that it was sweet.
I think life was really sweeter then.
I’m sure that there were many things that were extremely difficult back then – but in some ways it does seem like life was simpler a hundred years ago.
Can’t believe the clip is from 100 years ago. Some things will never change — the good language, cooking, and food!
I agree! Food and cooking play a wonderful role in pulling people together both then and now.
I love the photo. I learned to make pies working next to my mother. I was only tall enough to roll out the dough on the seat of a wooden chair, and my rolling pin was only six inches long, but I still love making pies.
I had one of those little rolling pins, too. I’d totally forgotten about it until you mentioned it. Baking and cooking creates such wonderful memories across generations.
I don’t remember seeing this brand before.. Rumford,and clabber girl is what mom would have bought. I use Argo .
I think that there is regional variation in the brands of baking powder that are available. I have a can of Royal Baking Powder in my cupboard. Your comment sent me googling for addition information about baking powders. Clabber Girl produces six or more different brands of baking powder, including Royal Baking Powder. I think that they purchased many of the brands over the years. Here’s a website that lists brands of baking powder made by Clabber Girl.

Very interesting! Also learned that Clabber girl is manufactured by Hulman & co. Also owns Indianapolis motor speedway!
Very appealing advertising.
I agree! It creates a nice warm fuzzy feeling.
What a charming ad so sweet and nostalgic. 🙂
It’s interesting how even a hundred years ago, advertisements were creating a sense of nostalgia.
I love old ads! They’re so sweet and interesting at the same time. And it’s good to know that family traditions have always been valued.
It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoy the old ads. I like them, too, and enjoy finding ones to post.
The little girl is so cute. It’s nice to know that even back then some companies were concerned about the ingredients in the products.
I’ve seen quite a few old ads from the early 1900s that focus on food quality. People were really concerned about the purity of food a hundred years ago – and there were lots of regulations enacted during that time period to crack down on “adulterated food.”
