Valley Bakers Will
Commence Campaign
(By SAD Correspondentl

tBy SLdII correspondent
HARLINGEN, June 20.-An edu-
cational campaign on the cost OF
baking bread was decided upon at
a meeting of the Valley Bakers
Assn. at the Valley Baking co.
plant here this week.
w. L. Trammel OF Harrington
was named chairman OF a COM
mittee TO work out details OF the
campaign and a report will be had
at the next meeting which will be
held in two weeks al Voigt's Bakery
in Weslaco.
The bakers will undertake TO
show that the hardware stores are
selling bread at less than cost when
they retail it at four cents. Sale OF
bread vas undertaken by a Valley
hardware chain in retaliation for
sale OF hardware at allegedly less
than cost by grocers. The bakers
claim that instead OF the retalia-
ton hitting the grocer, 1t Is hitting
them BY causing the public TO think
that bread can be made and sold
at a profit at four cents a loaf.
The bakers association was form
ed several weeks ago with the idea
Of discussing problems Of the trade.
