HOLMES BAKERY
QUICK TO OFFER
new WAR LOAF
Growth Of Business Reveal
ed in Announcement of
Hoover" Bread.

How slowly yet surely the house of
Holmes & Sons, bakers. whose estab-
lishment at 107 F street northwest,
now holds the distinction of being one
of the largest retail bakeries in the
United States. has risen to its present
prestige through the earnest efforts of
husband and wife, its founders. was
learned in detail last night when an
nouncement was made that this
bakery would be among the first in
Washington to comply with regula-
tlons of the Food Administration and
turn out a standard sixteen-ounce
war loaf"
1t is not required by the Food Ad-
ministration that this new loaf be sold
until December 10. but. with charac-
ueritsic promptness, this bakery will
begin selling war loaves" tomorrow,
one week early. They have also al
ready secured the necessary license
which will be required of all bakeries
after December 10.
Started - Years Ago.
Twenty-three years ago Lewis
Holmes. owner of Holmes Bakery,
which delivers its product directly to
customers, selling no bread at whole
sale. opened his first establishment at
First and E streets northwest. His
father had operated the grocery for
many years. and the firm later became
Holmes & Son.
Mrs. Elizabeth Holmes. wife Of the
junior member of the firm. and born
cook" as her host of friends will at
test. really started the firm on its way
to success when she, at the behest of
those who enjoyed her pies, was per-
Suaded to make enough to supply them
regularly.
Soon Mrs. Holmes. after finding that
the baking of four pies each day in
a small gasolene oven was inconven-
lent, began using two or three ovens,
until the Holmes Bakery today turns
out 10000 pies q week, or $4,000 a
year.
An idea OF the extent Of their busi-
ness at present may be gained from
the fact that to supply their customers
with pies for the Thanksgiving Day
just passed they used sixty-four bar
rels OF pumpkin and twenty-five bar
rels OF mincemeat
Seeks Full Cooperation.
In speaking OF the Inauguration to-
Holmes last night said:
We have been in conference with
the Food Administration authorities
for some time. and it is our desire to
cooperate with the government to the
fullest extent. We have already OBJ
taned the license that all bakers must
have by December 10. and We are 60
ing to do baking under the formulas $
of the government continuing f0 USc
some of the ingredients that have
given our products an individuality Of
their own.
We have felt that We owe II to
the government and the people in
this crisis to reduce to the minimum
our profits, trusting to increased sales
to compensate US.
Ever since I have beer in business
have felt that the public appreciates
quality. quantity and service. If ]
have done well it is due to continu-
ally keeping before me these
thoughts"
