in a hurry and hustle. as il is at this
time that large numbers of wagons back
up to the doors and are loaded for the ex-
press offices. To people who are on the
streets late at night the bakery wagons are
familiar sight as they go about delivering
the bread. The wagons that cover the city
start on their routes at 2:3O in the morning,
just an hour after the bread OF out-of-town
places is hauled away. The city grocers
and bakers are all furnished by 6 o'clock
so that their customers can have fresh
bread every morning for breakfast. Then
AT 10 o'clock another delivery is made, and
on this round the drivers take the grocers'
orders for what they want the next morn
ing. In the room where the wagons are
kept each driver has a large locker which
is spotlessly clean. and on the door each
day he posts order OF what kind of bread
he wants and the quantity that viii be
necessary 10 furnish TO his customers the
next morning. These lockers are filled at
night before he goes to work, 50 that when
he is ready 10 start he has simply TO back
his wagon up to the door of the locker and

ment has fourteen wagons. and altoge Their
sells about 10000 loaves of bread per week.
This all goes for local consumption aid
besides this there are about 10000 loaves sent
to the surrounding towns.
Mr.. Alexander Taggart, member of the
firm. in speakinG/of the local consumption
of bread said:
Indianapolis is one of the greatest bread
consuming cities In the United States That
Is. far bakers bread is concerned,
and the reason for this is that bread is
sold much cheaper here than in most places.
Also. in the bread that is made here a much
better grade OF flour is used than formerly.
Ii used 10 be that the bakers used flour
that was known as bakers flour. and il was
OF a very poor quality, but now the very
best that can be bought is used in the
bread made in this city. The consumers
have found this out, and are buying bakers
bread now instead OF making IL themselves.
as many formerly did
Right now is the dull season for the
baker. | suppose many people think that
the baker has no dull season, but his is no
exception to other lines of business. Dur
ing the summer months is when the baker
prospers. for then people do not eat so much

has ever done any bread making knows
what this means, but instead of making
the sponge up in a large tin pan, as is
done in the ordinary kitchen. and setting il
on the back OF the stove to wait until it
is sufficiently developed to commence the
bread making. in the bakeries it is made
upon much larger scale, and is mixed in
large trOughs which are about eight feet
Icing, three feet wide and about three or
a little over i'm depth. The men who set
the sponge have nothing else to do, but
there is another crowd that makes up the
dough. Thus everything Is in readiness for
the regular bakers, who come to work at
o'clock in the afternoon. When they
commence their labor ii is not Ions until

is an interesting place TO visit to watch the
bread. cakes and crackers in the different
stages OF making. \ few years ago all the
dough was raised, divided and made ready
TO go i'm the ovens by hand, but now this
process has all been done away with and
the bread is hardly touched by human hand
in the process of making. Everything at
present time is done by machinery. from the
mixing of the dough to molding IT into the
loaves.
The men who mix the dough do not meas
ure their quantities of flour by cupsful. as
the housewife does. but so many large sacks
and than certain purY7 har ~ ScoopSf,rl-
the latter about as big as the ordinary
shovelful--are put into the mixing machine
This makes the dough in much larger guam
titles than could formerly be made by hand
and also makes it I'm a much shorter time
The action OF this machine strikes the OBJ
server as wonderful. for it seems impossible
that such great quantities can be turned
out in so short time When the dough is
thoroughly mixed II is put into long troughs
and sent down TO the bakers These are
the men who begin their work late in the
afternoon, and while other people sleep
they are making bread for breakfast
When the bakers get the dough it is put
through a machine in small quantities that
divides 1t into the right proportion for the
loaves. This dough as yet is not nodded
and is simply i'm a lump which has no shape
These Jumps OF dough are then run through
the molding machine which Is a rather
complicated apparatus composed of small
rollers and cog wheels. The dough is put
in at one end of this machine in an I'M
recognizable mass and comes out at the
other perfectly formed loaf These loaves
are put in baking pans which set on

drivers to the bakery, and is sold 10 the
poor people two lOaVes for cents. IL IS
said that when adverse business conditions
exist in the city and the various lnanuiac-
turing concerns begin 10 lay off their men
II can be told Immediately at the bakery
by the swarms OF people who come 10 pur-
chase the stale bread. When the conditions
change these people quit buying, and il Is
an exceedingly hard matter 10 get rid OF
this bread that is a day old. Men about the
esta Adjustment of the National Biscuit Com :
pany say that IL is quite an interesting
sight TO see these poor people swarmng
into the bakery on the cold mornings wait
ing to get the stale bread. These people
come from all parts of town and are in all
conditions of poverty.
Large establishments. of course, use i'm
mense quantities of flour every year and
no matter what the price OF il is il has 10
be bought so that the bakery can keep run
ming. The buyer of flour, however, has TO
be very shrewd so that when it is AT bottom
prices he can take advantage of them and
lay In his supply. To do this the markets
have to be watched very closely by him.
To turn out the bread that is necessary for
a large establishment Ii takes approximate
ly $500 barrels of -four year. According
10 this II requires about 500 barrels week.
So, besides the baking establishment a
large storehouse has to be maintained where
this supply of flour can be kept on hand at
all times for immediate use.
The ovens that are now used are quite
different from the ones that were employed
some years ago. The ovens, I'm fact, like
everything in baking. has undergone a de-
cided change in the last two or three
decades and instead of the old-fashiOned
ovens, where the bread was baked directly
on the fire, there later ones which are
built on the order OF those of a cooking
stove. and no fire gets inside of them The
largest ones are called reel ovens and are
made similar to the wheel of stern
wheeled steamboat. One of these ovens is
capable of holding 1900 loaves of bread at
one time. The others. which do not revolve,
hold about go lOaves NJ one time. The reel
ovens turn round. and i'm this way are cas-
lily filled In large baking establishments
very nearly 1900 loaves OF bread can be
baked at one time so Ii is easily seen that
IL does not take many fllings of the ovens
10 turn out the daily supply. The heat in
the ovens is very hot and steady. There
are men in the engine room who keep the
fires going continually and fires that resem-
BILE the furnaces In foundry.
No pies made in the large bakeries

doesn't, no matter what may be the rea-
son of the latter for clinging to his resting
place. But in this day, when women have
forced a condition Of things in which they
are on common ground with men IN all
respects, it isn't odd that men should be
inclined to deny them the privileges that
in old times more than made up for the
rights they now claim; it is little
unfair to judge man harshly for refus-
ing To yield his seat in a street car. But
il is the man who gives it UP grudgingly
who is worse than the man who doesn [
give it Up at all. He makes the woman
to whom he proffers il feel like the heavy
villain in melodrama, and surely no feel
ing could be worse. One specimen of this
kind of cheerful giver-an exaggerated type,
be it added thankfully-gave up his seat
in a crowded car a few nights ago. TWO
or three young girls got into the car ana

perfectly audible, however, to all the pas

One of the funniest things in street-cal
travel of the present day is the affectlonate
street-corner parting to which fnterurban
travel gives rise. At the station one feels
no surprise to see a woman fall upon the
neck of her nearest and dearest and bic
him fond farewell. That is a taken-for-
granted matter with Outward-bound trains
putting and whistling all about, and II
seems a perfectly proper proceeding. But
it takes ones breath to see some woman
on a quiet uptown street corner, guaran-
teed to be perfectly respectable, fling heI
arms about a man and kiss him frantically
and then skip to the sidewalk, while the
man boards street car-an interurban car

frequency of interurban travel may in time
take away the seeming improperly of the
ardent leave-takings, but at present it in

lANI portant industries in Indianapolis
is that of the bakeries. The rea-
I4I son that this line of business
thrives TO such an extent here is
that there are more people who depend
upon bakers bread to supply their tables
with the staff OF life, and more bread is
eaten than in almost any other city in the
United States. The people of this city have
found by experience that the bread made
here by the local bakeries is of very SUI
perior quality, and in many instances is
better than can be prepared at home. The
buying of bread does away with the old
fashioned baking day, which was formerly
looked upon by the men of the family with
almost the same dread as washday or
housecleaning time. Many Indianapolis
people not only depend upon the bakers for
the bread they use, but pies cakes, crack
ers and rolls of various kinds are bought
extensively. The bread that is made here
Is not only superior in quality. but the
loaves weigh more and the buyer gets more
for his money than in almost any other
place I'm the country. This proves that
there Is a great amount Of nutrition In the
local bread. and IL is necessarily OF higher
standard than people often make in their
own kitchens, and for this reason is a much
healthier bread than generally comes from
the bakeries.
There are three large bakeries here.
namely those of Hitz. Bryce and PARROT 81
Taggart. besides any number of smaller
ones, and they all do a thriving business.
The larger part of all OF their trade is
local OF course the smaller concerns have
to eI,f fbofr httf
the larger ones so manage their affairs that
they furnish bread TO all the surrounding
towns. but in TO instance does this trade
form the bulk OF their business. The local
trade here is so large that all of the bak-
ing establishments. both large and small.
for the most part conhne the larger share
OF their business within the limits OF the
city. IL is said by leading bakers that
their local demand for bread and cakes IS
increasing all the time. and that the ma
jority OF people have quit doing their own
baking and are now buying the things that
they formerly made themselves. IL is said
the advantage In this is that in purchasing
a cake. for instance. Is much better than
baking IL. for there is no chance of spoil
ing II. and In making bread the same thing
can be said. The woman OF the house also
avoids a great amount OF trouble by de-
pending the bakers pies, cakes and
brad and the bakers, understanding the
peculiar taste that homemade eatables
have. are catering To this. They try 10
make their bread. cakes and rolls as near
like the homemade article IL is posi-
BILE 10 get them. 1t used 20 DC that every
