Mrs. M. E. Hines has recently
installed for use in her bakery a
large Middlby oven of the latest
type. The type of oven purchased
by Mrs. Hines is next to the largest
manufactured, and very seldom sold
to any but city bakeries. Some con-
ception of it's magnitude can be OBJ
tanned from the fact that it has a
csplcty Of $50 loaves Of bread, and
weighs 81 tons.f The construction
of the oven is such that after once
becoming thoroughly heated the
oven retains sufficient heat to con-
tinue baking for several hours after
the fire has been withdrawn. This
addition makes the Hines bakery
one of the best equipped bakeries in
this section.
