A Few Facts on Breadmaking

Do you know that the Food Administration has Ii
every bakery the United States which ten
barrels of flour a month?
Do you know that every bakery in the United States
nuts use the same formula for making bread?
That to one barrel of flour 1876 pounds he cannot
than three pounds of beet sugar 80
pounds of syrup, two pounds of compound lard
substitute which contains than fifteen cent ami
NAL fat, after December 10.
Do YOU know that out-of-town bakeries under
this law as we'll of your home town?
That this does not apply to the bakeries of Bedding
Do you know who helps keep your city beautiful and
pay the taxes?
it the bakeries of whom you buy bread from
No. 1t is the little bakeries down the street who
doing this.
Do you know that bread is being shipped into Beld
ing from Grand Rapids and Lansing.
That by buying those breads you sending thou
sands of dollars year from Belding?
That you help keep those cities beautiful and pay
their taxes?
Why not purchase you bread at !, home and keep
those thousands of dollars yearly in Belding?
Do you know you buy bread from the grocery which
shipped is three days old before put
it your table?
That you pay full price for that bread?
Do you know if you bought bread from your home
town bakeries two three days old think it is stale
and you must have it for half price? Why buy bread
two or three days old and first price when
get fresh baked bread from ovens daily?
That is why the Food Administration has set the
weight of bread 16 "a after baking equva-
lent thereof two and four-pound oaves.
Do YOU know pound loaf is what small family
would use daily?
Do YOU know that cutting down the amount of sugar
and lard bread is taking away the keeping qualities?
Do you know that this formula has been tried by the
largest bakeries the United States and has proved
great success?
Will the pubc-atlarge be loyal to the bakeries
of Belding?
Or must our doors be closed because the public-at
large won't stand back of us?
We all more than willing to do our bit" to help
win this great war.

A REAL SALESMAN

l once knew a chap. We'll just call
him Jim,
Who was so full of pep, of ginger and
vim,
That he worked all day with only one
trouble,
And that was TO see each days bust
ness double.
Now, Jim was short on lots OF dope,
Such as baseball, politics, the white
mans hope"
He cout1n't tell the candidates how
TO run,
But he worked all day like a son-of-
The weather never leased him, nor
cen the roads.
He never carried unnecessary loads
OF wonders and worries and useless
cares
But his face showed he handled the
sunshine wares.
So some have wondered at this chap.
Jim,
And wished that they could be Just
like him.
But as they would wonder and worry
and shirk,
They failed to spell his middle name.

is nothing more natural than for the
individual holder of piece of prom
erty to try to get the biggest price
possible for 1t; he never stops to fig
ure that he is killing the goose that
lays the golden egg" This condition
can be overcome by the Chamber OF
Commerce through It's Manufacturing
Enterprise Committee holding options
on a number OF desirable pieces of
property.
This committee would also be en-
powered to engage the services OF an
efficiency manufacturing engineer to
examine into the merits Of any prop
osition offered and If his report was
favorable a subcommittee of three
one manufacturer. one merchant and
one banker. would follow up the re-
port by an investigation into the
character. business ability and finan-
cial standing of the promoters of the
proposed industry, weigh all the pos
sihilities Of it's adaptablity to Rich
mond conditions and the marketing
of the product from Richmond. II
found practical and promising to be
profitable, the committee as a whole
would be empowered to subscribe
whatever amount of capital stock
necessary to secure the plant for
Richmond, under such arrangements
for directors and management as in
It's judgment seemed wise AMI reason
able. The amount Of stock thus sub.
scribed would be called from the un-
derwriters of the investment fund
mentioned above and each subscriber
apportioned stock in value to the
amount paid.
BY this method there is co-opera-
ton coupled with concentration; in
vestment Is made based on the tudg-
ment OF men thoroughly informed on
the merits of the industry and the
investors know their interests will be
safeguarded by local representation in
the directory.
AS matters now stand each indi-
vidual is approached and asked tc
subscribe to stock in a new enter
prise; he hasn't the time or the means
to investigate; the amount he could
or would subscribe Is not sufficiently
large to justify his paying for an ef-
f1ciency engineers report: therefore,
he says, no. possibly believing the in
dustry one that will prove profitable.
and often missing the chance to be-
come part owner In a real bonanza"
besides driving that industry away
from Richmond to make rival city
more prosperous.
There are today millions of Rich
mond dollars invested in stocks of
factory plants in other cities. North.
South, East and West. Some return
no profit, some a fair profit. some a
large profit. and some have turned
out "bonanZas." These investments
were made because the promoters
came to Richmond with iata and rec
concentrations that convinced our
people with money to invest that the
proposition was sound and would be
we'll managed, We can make our
dollars earn profit and at the same
time build up our beautiful city, IL
We will bunch those dollars and make
them cooperate the same as indi-

motto--"United we stand. divided we
