ed. Wilmington's bakeries have won
an enviable reputation for providing
the people they supply with whole
some, nutritious bread made under
modern and sanitary conditions.
There is no question but that bread
forms the staple article OF diet among
the vast majority OF men and women.
II is, therefore, a matter of consider
able concern that a high standard
shall be maintained. This standard, /
am assured by a representative Of the
Wilmington bakers, is being jealousy
guarded. "All industries OF the city
which can be expanded by support of
the citizens of the city and thus pro-
vide for employing additional workers
are deserving Of comnendation. This
principle applies particularly just now
when We are faced by a serious indus
trial depression, relief of which de-
