Bread Butterinp M,chtna

Many of the ocean liners are now
provided with a very ingenious ma
chine for turning out large quantities
OF bread and butter or sandwiches.
The slicer will cut either meat or bread.
and the bread can be sliced without
buttering, if desired. The machine
cuts and buffers sixty slices q minute.
and with its aid 5000 sandwiches have
oeen made in two hours. 1t does not
matter whether the bread is stale or
fresh: the thickness can be graded to
anything the operator wishes. and the
quantity of butter to be added with
equal certainty and uniformity. One
movement of the hand spreads the
butter and cuts off the slice of bread.
1t is said that with this machine full
sized ham can be cut into slices in four
minutes. without any waste. In max
ing 1000 sandwiches, it is estimated
that saving is effected of three hams.
and eleven pounds of butter, in conse-
quence of both the ham and the butter
being used with greater evenness and
accuracy, enough but 10 more being
expended.

The American people are tempted every
