One claims that bread loses weight in firing and

The expression bakers dozen" probably found its
meaning about two centuries in Brittany where laws
against short weight and short extremely
severe that in order not to feel the strong Of justice
the bakers deliberately threw in loaf or bun
roll They did this not because of their innate honesty
but to their precious skins.
But, whatever the origin OF the bakers
dozen it has influenced the generations have come
and to such extent that bakers seldom if ever
are accused of underweight undermeasure
And all business today is leaning more or less toward
the bakers dozen in weights and measures 1.-THE Public
