FRESH BREAD
I5AKED IN ALLIANCE
We have secured the services of a baker with many
years experience in bread and pastry making. He
has worked in Alliance many months and makes
excellent bread. The quality is there.
IT IS SURE TO SATISFY
AND ITS ALWAYS FRESH
Our Bread costs no more than others
and we believe you'll like it better.
It's worth trying, anyway. You can get it at the
Alliance Candy Store. Tom Stalos and E. Essay.
We will make a special effort to give other
Alliance dealers prompt and satisfactory
service.

STUDY YOUR OWN BUSINESS
There are perhaps many things
you can learn about it if you will take
time to do this. Unless you have from
time to time done this, the chances
are ten to one that some part of your
syste mhas, like Topsy, "simply grown." Undoubtedly some of your
ways of doing things could be altered with no great effort, and
thereby save time, inconvenience, and opportunity for error.
Here's How We May Help You
In some of these changes you. can use forms to keep records
on. Have you a workable, easily get-at-able set of figures from
which you can determine your daily, weekly or monthly profits?
Can you not plan a for mthat you or your bookkeeper can fill out
to give you this desirable data?
Again, can you find the right pad of checks for a certain bank
when you want it? Could you not profitably use checks printed
especially for you with the name of the bank to be written in?
You could carry a small pad of them and never be at a loss when
some customer or business acquaintance wanted to pay you.
There are many other ideas you can incorporate into
your system at small expense that will
