Prof. Harry Snyder of Minneapolis, IN
his discussion yesterday afternoon, said
he did not believe the people realized the
conditions that exist In the average bake
shop and that in the use OF bread they
have the cheapest food material they
can possibly use. There is no material, )"
he said, that carries with 1t so far as
the amount and kind of nutriment is
concerned. more nutriment free from
germs than bread baked in a hot oven."
Entertained at German Home.
The bakers were entertained In the
evening at a dinner at the German Home
in South Omaha Following the dinner
a social hour was enjoyed. Members Of
the association invited their friends. In
formal speeches followed the dinner, but
no one was supposed to be serious In the
matter of shop talk. The bakers feel
that they are getting along very nicely
with the shop talk at their regular ses-
sions during the day In their convention,
SO they do not care TO give all OF their
social hour to a discussion of how to
bake bread or how to turn a cake.
The association has a larger paid up
membership this year than ever before,
as there are 125 paid up memberships.
This means about 100 actual bakers and
some twenty-five representatives OF al
lied trades. with this large attendance
they have been filled so full OF technical
talks and discussions that they welcomed
the opportunity for relaxation afforded
by the hospitality OF the German Home.
In the afternoon George wOlz OF Ere
mont, mayor Oh eAHNo eNh
ator and prominent baker and con-
fectioner Of that city, gave the mas
ter bakers straight tclk on the
value of advertising In the newspapers
OF their city. BE sure that you produce
something of quality in the line OF your
bread or cakes" he said. Give It new
name and then put in quality. Then when
you have something good use printers
ink. Do not expect the newspapers to
constantly say good things about the city
and never have the business people Of
that city reciprocate by giving them some
business.
"You expect the newspapers to say
when you come here for the convention
that you have gone to get some new
ideas In your line of business. Then when
you return home all you tell that
editor is that you had the time Of your
life IN Omaha."
He touched on the value OF looking
after quality in the products OF the bak-
cry. and urged that the bakers call their
customers personal attention to the quail
ity of some new product they are putting
out.
"The reason" he said that foreign
ers make such a quick success OF GER
tain lines of business in this country II
that they study our weaknesses for at
tention and then shower attention upon
US"
