Chicago Letter to NetO York Evenin0 Post
There has recently been organized in Chi
cago a company composed entirely OF wo-
men, having seven directors and male
manager, for the purpose of controlling in
all parts Of the United States, baking
equipment that can be operated almost en-
tirely by female labor. The policy of the
undertaking is to employ no men beyond
the business manager, or the engineers or
firemen, nor will the lords of creation be
permitted TO participate in the possession
of any of the stock.
The scheme embraces the esta blishment of
plants in all of the principal cities of this
country, and 1t is claimed that, wherever
they establish bakery, a monopoly Of the
business is assured, by reason of the great
reduction In the cost Of manufacture by this
new and improved process, which is de-
clared to be time, labor and money saving
invention. By Its use a single barrel of
-four can be turned into bread at a cost OF
SO cents The average cost under existing
conditions is stated to be about 81 so. The
machine which is to accomplish all this is
small and compact and costs less than one
fourth OF what is required to defray the ex-
pense of large bakery outfit OF the ordi-
uary pattern.
The -four and other ingredients are first
dumped into huge kneading tray, where
they are worked with surprising quickness
and to much better advantage than could
be done by hand. From the tray travelling
cubs carry the dough up and down into a
large hopper. Expelling pistons force 1t
into molds, which are portable and of
various sizes and shapes. Curved knives or
which is then lifted automatically into q
can. The knives return to their original
position, ready to swoop down
on the next loaf that comes within
range. Revolving brushes, eastically
mounted in movable frame. cleans
the molds and pans; then another arm in
verts them to keep out dust and foreign
substances. The baking pans consist of
plates, having on their ends upright,
slotted arms, adapted to be hung on a car
rying belt. Automatic opening and closing
slides let the loaves into the ovens, which
are similar to those in ordinary use. The
losves are baked in few moments, and
are removed by hand. It is asserted that
loaves can be turned out almost as rapidly
as newspapers from a rapid perfectfng
press, and with far less complication of
mechanism.
The directory of the company is COM
posed Of women prominent in philanthropic
business enterprises in Chicago, who are
possessed Of means and business capacity to
push the enterprise to a successful culmina-
ton. The company Is a duly chartered
corporation, with capital of $250.00O, di-
vided into small shares. owned by women
in every part Of the country. One of the
women interested in this undertaking, in
speaking of its possibilities. says: "If
we only make half a cent a loaf on
bread and l cent on pies, with twenty-five
bakeries averaging 5000 loaves Of bread and
1000 pies daily, our annual profits will be
1888. 500 which will pay dividend OF SIS So

divident last year amounting to $50 600, and
its stock has advanced over 700 per cent.
