 A Valuable and Useful Invention.
 A valuable and decidedly useful invention is that of the patent bread mixer which is run by gas engine of four horse power. George Root & Son, the well known and en- terprising bakers of s59 Grand street, have found it necessary, in order to supply the steadily and largely increasing demand for their bread, to purchase gas engine for the purpose of running "a bread mixer" With the new apparatus four is mixed finer and the bread is obviously cleaner and better. So exceptionally does the ''little engine" work, that six barrels of four is mixed up into fine dough and ready to be shaped into loaves in twelve minutes. While there is an immense amount of labor seved by this thew process" yet the same number of hands are required.
 The benefit accrues to the workingmen as their labors are much decreased, while the consumers really get better article of bread by the new method. Each day. from three until four in the afternoon and from nine until eleven in the evening, the ''little en- gine' generates the power and the bread mixer fgets i'm it's thorough and useful work.
