The Rice-Schmidt and General Baking
companies increased the price half
cent on a loaf. making the pound loaf
seven 'and. half cents wholesale and
the pound -anda half loaf eleven cents.
The General Baking Company's two
pound loaf was increased one cent

eral Baking Company ascribed the
/ increase in price to increased coa of
materials. The Rice-Schmidt com
pany officials here referred inquiries
to the Baltimore Office :,
At HolzbeierIein's, however, it wac
stated that any increase in cost of
materials was not felt sufficiently to
increase the bakery's price to III.
