Not a Mixed-up Store,
bufc-a First-class Bakery.   If

it would be to your interest to
order it a little ahead of time,
then you can have it.  'Por the winter months in purchasing
Bread Tickets of me you can have better inducements, as we must-
have our bakery warm in cold weather, so it is almost as easy to bake a
large batch of bread as a small one.
Give me a share of i'our trade and 1 assure you that you will nob
he sorry, I assureyou that, my baked goadsare clean and pure. I
learned my trade complete, EGGS WANTED.
