Abstract: It is shown that if $ A$ is a uniform algebra generated by real-analytic functions on a suitable compact subset $ K$ of a real-analytic variety such that the maximal ideal space of $ A$ is $ K$ and every continuous function on $ K$ is locally a uniform limit of functions in $ A$, then $ A=C(K)$. This gives an affirmative answer to a special case of a question from the Proceedings of the Symposium on Function Algebras held at Tulane University in 1965.
