the check that lis heretofore paid
for month 5 rent Other apartments
have also advanced their figure on
tbs monthly rent bill.
There is some uncertainty as 70
whether the price o. bread win ad-
vance one cent loaf next week in
Salem. The local manager Of the Cher
~ City Bakery IS cut Of tewa and it
could not be learned what action
would be taken BY the Holsum bread
people. The manager of the Bake Rite
bakery on State street Just recently
opened for business, said he would do
just IS the others did, whether the
prize went up or remained as at pres
eat. The Salem Bakery Co. on Court
street. handling Dixie bread, was un-
certain as to the outcome and did not
Know whether or not the price would
be raised one cent loaf. The owner
of the Peerless bakery on North Com
mereial street was most emphatic in
saving that his bakery would make no
change in price and that it would stay
just were it is now, regardless of what
others might dc.
