Using, even if no one else does so.

The Cambridge Bakery announces
in this issue an increase in the
price of a number of their products,
this Increase being necessary on &C
count of the greatly advanced prices
which they are compelled to pay for
the materials entering into their pro-
ducts. The proprietor of the Bakery
states that he has put off advancing
these prices as longk as possible, i'll
the hope that it would not be neces-
sary, but the conditions surrounding
the business are such that it becomes
absolutely necessary to make the in
creases in order to conduct his bust
ness profitably.
fofo hot &c nt
good form for ladies, running auto
mobiles, to drive up in front of
stores and toot their horns for the
proprietors or employees to come out
and take their orders. In the first
place, the automobiles will not run
away if left alone; in the second
place, it places them in the position
of attempting to be snobbish and ov-
er-bearing, and in the third place,
those who expect this kind of atten-
ton should employ chauffeurs to op-
/ en- the doors, carry their packages
and run their cars. They also should
remember that most merchants can
not expect their employees to run out
to the pavement to solicit and re-
-ceive orders, and >oftentimes it is not
convenient for them to do so.

be found a full page advertisement
