readers to learn something of the extent Of
the bakery business done at the establishment
of J. B. Kupfer on Maine Street.
Mr. Kupfer has furnished US the items Of
his business for the year 1867. His sales have
been as follows 70, 900 pounds of crackers
1900 pies 50,0 600 loaves of bread; $500 ID, Of
cheese. The number or amount of cakes sold
he kept no account, as it was impracticable
his sales in this department were of course
immense. 1t is sufficient to say, that few
towns and cities are privileged with a bakery,
so popular as that of Mr., Kupfer, his crack.
