and the rush Of people for the bake
shop starts. They carry the beans
away 10 their homes in one or two
quart pots
The preparation and baking OF the
beans is an interesting operation. In
those establishments where beans only
are baked. 1t is done on a huge scale.
There are great kettles that hold two
or three bushels of beans, and into
these they are put TO soak and par
boil. Then the pots. varying in size
from one quart - two gallons, are
ranged on tables and filled from the
big kettles for the ovens

baked are huge brick affairs glowing

OF them is enormous. holding fully

down for a plate OF them by those
who indulge their appetItes in this
frugal fare in patronizing the purvey-
Ors of baked beans at eating houses.
and it Is figured out that the yearly
baked bean bill OF Boston is close to
S10.000.000. That seems Ike a pretty
large sum. bat IT is considered a mod
est estimate of the amount OF money
that the Hub spends on baked beans
every year.
All the bakeries in the city turn out
baked beans every day as part of
their regular business, and IN addl-
