THEY BAKE HOMEMADE PIES
AND CAKES MORE SKILLFULLY
THAN THE HOME KITCHEN
KNOWS

For the past twelve years the bak-
ing firm of Atticks and Atticks of 217
Broad street, have been tempting the
appetites of their customers with their
delicious products-pies and cakes.
In the early morning hours the de-
livery trucks and wagons of Atticks
and Atticks leave the bakery on their
trip around the city, supplying homes,
restaurants and hotels with the finest
pies and cakes that years and years
of experience can produce.
Realizing at the outset of their
career the really great demand for
cakes and pies, homemade in every
sense of the word, but made with the
skill of experienced hands, the two
mem bers comprising the firm, George
NJ and j. n. Atticks soon built up a
business of huge proportions.
In addition to the homes and busi-
ness places supplied, this firm also
conducts stall in the Broad Street
Markethouse, where each market
day and evening may be obtained the
toothsome product of these exper-
fenced bakers of good things to eat.
convincing proof of the wholesome
deliciousness of the pies and cakes
baked by Atticks and Atticks is the
fact that they are still delivering to
homes, restaurants and hotels who
have been on their list of customers

A STORE THAT REPRESENTS IT'S
WARES TO BE JUST WHAT THEY

A little stain and varnish on some
kinds of furniture covers a multitude
of shortcomings in the builder. Two
pieces that quite closely resemble each
other in general appearance may be
widely distinct in real worth, cost and
value. Both kinds are always sold at
the furniture store of Mr.. a. Gerber
located at 424 Reilly street, but no
buyer need fear being imposed upon
by having the poorer article offered
him when he thinks he is buying the
best.
Mr.. Gerber says that this is the
strongest element in the success OF his
business integrity-honor between seller
and buyer. He says that he likes to
carry all grades of furniture in stock
for the reason that he does business
with all classes of people and where one
person may be interesed in old, rare
and valuable pieces of mahogany, an
other customer may probably want
piece of finely polished birch, mahog-

the difference.

the community, but he finds that it

so as to take care of all of them. If
you are thinking of purchasing any
