A FAMOUS OLD HOUSE.

The house Of Walter Baker & Co.,
whose manufactures Of cocoa and
chocolate have become familiar in the
mouth as household words, was es-
tablished one hundred and twenty
one years ago Q7SO) on the Nepon-
set River in the old town of Dorches-
ter. a suburb of Boston. From the
little wooden mill, "by the rude
bridge that arched the food where
the enterprise was first started, there
has grown up the largest industrial
establishment Of the kind in the
world. 1t might be said that, while
other manufacturers come and go,
Walter Baker & Co. so on forever.
What is the secret of their great
success? 1t is a very simple one.
They have won and held the conf
dence of the great and constantly in
creasiug body of consumers by al
wavs maintaining the highest stand
ard in the quality of their cocoa and
chocolate preparations, and selling
them at the lowest price for which
unadulterated articles of good quail
itv can be put upon the market. They
welcome honest competition; but they
feel justified in denouncing in the
strongest terms the fraudulent meth
DDS by which inferior preparations
are palmed off on customers who ask
for and suppose they are getting the
genuine articles. The best grocers
refuse to handle such goods, not alone
for the reason that, in the long run,
it doesn't pay to do it, but because
their sense of fair dealing will not
permit them to aid in the sale OF
goods that defraud their customers
and iniure honest manufacturers.
Every package of the goods made
by the Walter Baker Company bears
the well-known trademark La Belle
Chocolatiere," and their place Of man
