CUT LOAF OF BREAD.
Weight and Price to be Reduced--No
Saving to Consumer.

Housewives of Wilmington will have n
surprise on Monday when they purchase
the days supply of bread and cake. The
large bakeries of the city have decided to
make reduction of price in the large
sized loaves effective on Monday. The
size of the loaves will also be reduced. The
wholesale price will be lowered from l4ls
cents to l3 cents on the large loaves and
the weight of the loaf will be cut from -
ounces to 2i - This will make the retail
price 15 cents. The law of the state does
not allow any loaf of bread to be made
smaller than 16 ounces for commercial
purposes and no change will be made in
its size and price.
According to the bakers this change in
the price was made To popularize the
buying of the large loaf and thereby
eliminate the handling of the two extra
coppers.
One large cake baking concern in this
