OAKLAND BAKERY.
Oakland is far in advance of the
average city of its size in respect to a
bakery. The service which is given
here by Mr.. Henry Lauer. proprietor of
the Oakland Model Bakery, is equal to
that enjoyed by any city in the country.
Here is demonstration of the benefits
TO be derived from support to the local
business house. By getting practically
all the bread and pastry business of the
local people Mr.. Lauer has been able to
build and maintain this very creditable
as well as serviceable bakery.
Mr.. Lauer is one of Oakand's best
citizens and is a citizen of unusual worth
to the community. So far as is possible
he uses local products in his business
and in his personal affairs gives the
local business houses the full benefit of
his patronage.

ability and in selecting this fine stock Of
goods has seen to it that he has receiv-
ed genuine values in every instance.

here Mr. Creutzburg has been Of great
assistance in the building of this com

share in the way Of taxes but has con-

For forty years the name Shirer has
been identified with the business inter-
ests Of Oakland and Garrett county and
today a representative of the second
generation is making the name even
more prominent in the local business
affairs. Without such an establishment
as that conducted by Mr.. w. E. Shirer
the business organization of Oakland
would be far less complete and the
people of this community woudfeel the
need of this important place of bust
ness.
The tin roofing and special sheet
metal business of this establishment
extends all over this section of the
country and is the means of bringing
much money to the community. This
great business in tin work, plumbing
and gas fitting has been built upon the
merits of the work done and the goods
sold. The motto Prompt service" has
prevailed for years and this with the
high standard of products coupled with
fair dealing with everybody, has been
the secret of the success of the enter
prise. In addition to this business Mr..
Shirer carries a fine line of gas and
coal stoves and ranges which have
been found we'll worth the prices asked
and very reliable in every instance.
