A new idea, and one which will undoubtedly
be appreciated by thousands of people in New
England, is just baing carried into practical
operation by Mr.. +. A Kennedy of Cambridge
port. The ability and enterprise which this
gentleman has shown in the manufacture Of
crackers AID biscuit of all kicds are best DEM
onstrated by his constantly increasing trade,
and the size of the mammoth establishment in
Cambtidgeport, where his goods are made.
Mr.. Kennedy has now purchased the "Holmes
tumble and Cake Machine" with the exclu-
sive right of the New England States, and pro-
poses TO put into every first-slass grocery store
10 New Eogland variety Ct rich cake goods
lin addition to crackers and biscuil), which
will achieve an imme diate sale and popularity.
These cakes. jumbles, etc will be found more
uniform, much lighter AID more delicate than
can possibly bs. produced by hand, and the
prices will be so low that all psople can buy
them freely. Ths varieties, as will be- seen By
the list elsewhere, are very choice, bat numei-
Gus enough to meet all the varied tastes Of the
people A sample box will bs placed 10 every
frst-slass grocery store, and the public will
have chance TO test them thoroughly. Mr.
Kennedy's large experience, well known energy
and wide business connections will enable him
to carry cut this new ides on broad and sue
cessful scale; and that it will result, under
these auspices, ia an immense trade Of mutual
benefit to all interested, manufacturer, grocer
and the public, there is not reasonable doubt.
