Grande Baking Co. covers all the sur
rounding territory, Mrs. A. M. Welch

operate a model plant to which the
public is at all times invited to come
and make a tour of inspection, for
this is a baking institution that

This model baking institution does
more than a business about town as
the management has reached out dur
ing past years and practically doubled
the business of the place, transacting
large business and rendering the
best service to the patrons.
The baking industry is practically
as old as the discovery of fire but the
methods used in ancient times have
greatly changed from the baking on
stone and in rudy constructed ovens
Today it is quite different and at this
bakery the latest models of machin-

this proposition is made so attrac-

without wishing to break his bank

the greater mileage obtained with his
