over from the day before are dispensed
at half price, are beginning to show an
increase and the merits of day-old bread
are being eXtolled on all sides.
This bread. according to Louis kolb, OF
the Kolb Bakeries, sells at exactly half
price, and the demand for two loaves
70? cents is steadily growing.
LAS long as bread continues at . cents"
said he 1--WE shall continue selling this
stale bread at 21a cents the loaf but, of
course, a rise may be expected at any
time. Just as soon as we have to buy
flour at the present quotations we shall
have TO raise our prices; but, fortunately
we have a large supply on hand"
At the Freebooter Bakery it was said
that the time might soon arrive when
the bakeries, in order to safeguard them
selves, would regulate their output to
accommodate only a known demand, and
in this case the supply of stale bread
would be greatly diminished and this re-
source denied consumers
William Maehler, president of the
Maehler Baking Company, of Camden,
suggested that the wholesale bakers
unite in a determination not to take back
the stale loaves from the grocer, If this
measure were carried out consistently
it is his belief that the price of bread
might be kept down, because the small
dealer would order more carefully and
the usual waste of an oversupply would
be avoided for the wholesale baker.
