HARRIS SPEAKS TO
METHODIST men
ON BREADMAk|NC

Everett B. Harriss, Of the Harris
Baking CO. of this city, gave his lee
ture on breadmaking last evening to
the members Of the Mems Auxiliary
of the Methodist church in the
church vestry. The men sat down
to their usual monthly supper at $50
and a short business meeting fol-
lowed:
Mr.. Harris spoke. in part as fol-
lows:
II am asked to say few words on
a subject of great impol lance to ev-
cry one Of you; your daily bread. An
interesting phrase of the baking in
dustry is it's progress in the last 40
or SO years. Forty years ago most
housewives baked their own bread.
They would have laughed at the idea
that man could bake and sell
better bread than most Of them could
make at home. Prior to the Civil
war only eight percent Of the bread
consumed in this country was made
by bakers. In 1890 only 20 percent Of
all the bread eaten in the United
States was bakers. ..
To-day over 60 percent Of the bread
eaten IN the United States is bak-
ers' bread. In 1919 the bakers of
this country did a business Of ST.
15O,O0O,000 roughly and between the
years Of 1914 and 1922 the baking
business increased 122 percent. -

The people of the city were much
in favor of the plan as soon at is
was preached and the directors of the
Chamber Of Commerce and the Wa
terville Rotary club have passed
resolutions commencing the plans
and offering their support in every
way. Others have been equally gen.
erous and so the committee felt that
such support should warrant the
presentation of the best possible
program and so plans were made
with this end in view.
The Central Maine Fair Grounds
finally were secured for the presenta-
ton of the days program and an
effort will be made to have the

on his side-superior equipment and
tested ingredients. There is no guess
work in the up-to-d date bakeshop.
All ingredients are twice, sometimes
thrice tested.
"a first class oven is an important
factor in bread making. The heat
should be uniform throughout the
baking chamber. The construction
should be such that no dirt, dust
gases or fumes can enter the baking
chamber.
EVERY oven should have a ther-
mometer and set of controlling
hampers, so that the temperature
may be accurately regulated. These
are features unknown to the average
home kitchen, but most invariably
enjoyed by the up-to- date modern
bakery. Some Of the largest bakers
of today have travelling ovens cost
ing as high as $4,000 and have a
length of between IS and 80 feet.
The oven used by the average bread
maker costs around $4,000.
"In the last five years the monthly
bread consumption of the people of
the United States has almost doub-
led. There are 10000 bakers in the
country who use about 50,000,O0O
barrels of flour a year.
Magazines, billboards and car
cards have all proclaimed the virtues
of bakers bread. All bakers the
country over have realized their res
possibility by making better and
better bread all the timely using
only the very best and highest grade
materials, which. as has been said,
make the richest loaves."

Almost twice as much bread per
person is consumed in Canada as is
consumed in the United States.

jumps ahead of us in annual wheat
consumption"
1.-THE commercial baker has the
best opportunity in the world to
serve his public When he takes
advantage of this, his business some
times grows in a phenomenal manner.
yet the present great BUSINESS
started back in 1882 from the humb-
lest Of beginnings, with one small
oven. It's steady gain in popularity
reads like a romance-but very
practical romance, testifying to the
public's keen desire for quality bread.
THE baker of today should not
only know how to make up his
cough anu AZ IloPtllH, SO tto
to put out a quality loaf; but he
should also know exactly the func-
ton of each ingredient in the dough:
how it acts. what it does and just
how to control it's action so as to
yield the best possible product econ
omically and efficiently.
The sooner all those connected
with tho baking indutry. whihc in
