PITTSBURGH, March II. - Fifty
years ago a father and his son were
operating a very modest bakery in
a one-room plant on a side street in
Pittsburgh. It was no different from
any other corner bakery; apparently
it would remain a quiet neighbor-
hood store to the end of its career.
But every business venture in
America has in it the seeds of great
ness. Rockefeller once had dingy
one-room Office in Cleveland; Ford
ran a most dubious machine shop
in Detroit. The corner bakery in
Pittsburg was destined to grow.

wives. A huge demand grew up sud
denly and the brothers decided to
build new plant about 1900.
In June of that year George S.
Ward, who had been handling the
credit of the company, left for trip
to Europe. During the four months
he was gone Robert Ward found the
business growing SO rapidly in
volume and earnings that it amazed
him. He called in his manager, Will
liam G. Brenneman, and asked If he
thought it possible for a bakery ever
to do a million dollar business.
Brenneman believed it possible. So
a new factory was built. and 1901
saw the million-dollar business come
to pass.

B. Ward, was his chief helper. BY
arising at a. M, making their own
deliveries and working themselves
unmerciafully they managed to turn
out 200 loaves a day-quite a feat
for a small bakery. The dozens OF
Ward plants of today turn out from
two to five million loaves daily.
Robert B. Ward was married in
1879 to Kitty Brining, who helped
him in the bakery in the dead of
night and tended the store In his
absence. They saved money and be-
came rich In children-the family
finally numbering thirteen.
The boys helped. There always
had been bond of affection be-
tween the sons. and In 1890, they

ferences and decided to branch
out and try to cover most of Pitts

the grocers to handle and to boost
their product. They united In the

plant in an old home and church
and began to install labor-saving ma
chinery.
The crisis came when the company
decided to enter the cake and biscuit
business. Here they incurred the

Abbot E. Smith to
Give Second of Series
Of Opening Recitals

Abbot e. Smith, one of the most
brilliant of the musicians in Water
vile, Is to give the second in the
series of opening recitals on the
Purinton Memorial organ in the
First Baptist church next Monday
evening at s o'clock. Mr.. Smith $
musical ability and his fine sense
of appreciation are already known
to many local people who have
heard him as the regular organist
at the Congregational church. Dur
ing he past two years he has ap-
peared numerous times as either ar
fist or accompanist and always he
has afforded his hearers the great
est of enjoyment.
Mr.. Smith has a thorough musical
education being, besides an organist
a pianist of distinct ability. His
study of the organ began under Carl
Jean Tolman, director of the Coburn
school of music, and his progress
has been rapid. Last summer Mr..
Smith spent some time in Europe
and while in Paris he received in
struction from Marcel Dupres. the
organist of Notre Dame. whom many
consider the finest living player of
the instrument. The program will
be made all the more enjoyable by
the brief explanations which Mr..
Smith will give of the selections as
he plays them.
The organ upon which the recital
will be given is one of the finest in
the state and it was recently INSTALL
ed in the church at much expense
