HEBER CONFECTIONERY.
What is now the Heber confectionery
began its existence about 10 years ago
in little building on the present site.
A. E. Dayton ventured the risk
which was q risk at that time
as 1t was problematical whether
a storo handling nothing but candles,
could pay. After few years the store
had grown some and was bought by |
o. H. Hylton. Mr.. Hylton was con-
fectioner of the first order. He spent |
years perfecting a formula for ice
cream that would stand on Its merits, |
and today it Is doubtful If there can I
be found in this state an Ice cream |
that Will compare with the Hylton for |

began extensive improvements. Tho
store and rofreShment parlor were COM
pletely overhauled and fitted up with
new furniture: a 20-foot rock addition :,
was erected in the rear Of the place and
fitted UP in modern shape for kitchen;
a first class bakers oven with a capa-
city of 300 loaves of bread at one bak-
ing, and bake shop were erected at a
cost OF S1.500. and a competent baker
was employed to cater to this new
branch of business. The bakery has
been a success from the first day and
the business now requires two bakers
to handle the ever increasing orders.
The local stores which We're hereto
fore handling bakery stuff from Provo
and Salt Lake are now selling this
home product, and VnnWagoner Broth
ers at Midway and the Charleston Co

stuff fresh every day.
The Hcber Confectionery and the bus
