ABSOLUTELY PURE BREAD AND oAKE-s s.
 THOMPSON $ co. s BAKERY.
 The ever popular bakery of s. s. Thomp- son $ Co.,, at 149 York street, has become one of the great stand-bys of the New Haven public It was established in 1929, when such institutions were rare, and when the ''gude" housewife was proud to do her own baking In those days we ourselves would have applauded this act for we suspect there was little good baking (good as we know now outside of the homes of our fathers. The improvement since that early day-a day touching almost upon the first quarter cen tury of our existence a nation-has been rapid, but in no establishment so rapid or noticeable as at that of which we write. All the modern improvements have been adopt ed one after the other, until now there is nothing to be desired the acme of perfect baking has been reached.
 It is no new story we tell to the public (they know the truth by experience) when we say that the peoples confidence is with s. s. Thompson & Co.,, who have won it by strictly honest dealing. There is not par ticle of adulteration, either harmful or other wise, in their goods Everything is made with the greatest care and neatness and of the very best material. This is not written as a stereotyped falsehood, but is a verity; any one can see the proof by tour of the estab- iShment or analysis of the articles manu- factured. In bread making only one kind of four is used, and that is the best. The brands several, but they are all the most superior patent family four. When there is discrimination in the price, the quantity differs, not the quality. This fact is one of great satisfaction to the pur- chaser, and constitutes the firm one of the great benefactors of mankind In this gilded age when there is 50 much of adulter- ation and fraud, it is refreshing to be able to recognize worth. During one day S. s. Thompson < Go. sold some 4, GOO loaves of bread, and in 8 single week ,, GOO dozen Yan- kee doughnuts. In six months 2 200 barrels of flour have been used.
 The firm supplies it's patrons-who are the proprietors of restaurants hotels and stores exclusiyely-by nine wagons which make sev- eral trips daily, beginning with bread at 5 a. m. Eight wagons outside the city are also provided for every day. This is large busi- ness, but it is done up in shape by corps of twenty-seven men, one of whom, Mr. John Saunders, has been in the employ of the estab- 1ishment with exceptional fidelity for the last quarter of century. The industrious bakers are provided with excellent basement quarters, where the troughs and ovens (four in num- ber) are in nightly operation. These four are for bread only-including Thompson's unexeeIled Vienna-but there are an addi- tionaI two in a rear brick building where the cake is prepared in large variety. A recent trip through the establishment revealed ex- emplary neatness in every department and thorough workmanship, and Thompson $ Go. continue to supply the market with the purest and best of everything in their line, realizing as they always have realized that 'shonesty is the best policy"
