BAKERS, TAKE NOTICE

/ am in receipt of information that
there is some movement among the
bakers of Florida to increase their
prices on bread because of the enforc-
ed use of substitutes. ! wish the pub
lie to know and the bakers to under
stand that will in no event allow
any increase in the price of bread
over and above the price prevailing
at the time the new wheat ruling was
put into effect, January %. Regard
less of what statement may be made
by bakers, the use of substitutes will
not increase the cost of production to
any extent that would justify increas-
ed prices of bread in this state. This
is to be considered an official notice
to the bakers of Florida, and they
must govern themselves accordingly.
/ shall also expect them to conform
absolutely to the government require
ments as regards the use of substi-
tutes. Braxton Beacham,
Food Administrator, Florida.
