COMPANY WILL PUSH IT.
Ideal Cake Turner to Be Backed with
Abundant Capital,

A new stock company has been or
ganized in the city called the Ideal
Cake Turner company and its object
will be to push the manufacture and
sale Of the popular kitchen utensil in
vented by NJ. D. Good over a year
ago.
Messrs. Halleck and Good have
been manufacturing and selling the
invention for several months and have
found it a taker. Over 10000 have
been sold and large orders are in. To
handle the business more satisfac-
torily the stock company has been
formed with about dozen leading
business rmen as stockholders and
there will be straight business hence
forth. The invention will be put in
the market in a dozen states and will
also be manufactured for export.
One of the strongest features of the
company is the fact that Charles
Kubach whose phenomenal success
and his wide experience as manager
Of the National Fence Machine COM
pany admirably fits him for the en-
terprise is member Of the new COM
pany and will handle the turner in
connection with his fence machine
business. The popularity Of the
turner so far as it has been intro
duced, its low price and the energetic
backing and abundant capital it will
have unite to make the enterprise a
most promising one and there will be
developed very prosperous business
in connection with it.
