When bread was called the "staff of life" the delicious
crackers, cakes and business of today were unknown. A
baker in those days meant a man who baked bread. A
baker nowadays means more it means annrtist who tickles
your palate with those flakey crackers and other tit-bits that
give you an added appetite for food.
"Who's your baker, " means much. It means better
health, a healthy stomach and happy days. If you study the
matter as we study it. this is your bakery for we know
your needs. We already supply many of your neighbors.

One of the most remarkable bass
voices iu tho world is that possessed by

prima dona which easily soars to high
C with a range far beyond that nnd nB
clear as a mocking .bird's. The high
tenor, G. L. Johnson, shown so well
in "Miserere," possesses a Caruso like
range and is without doubt the strong
est, clearoat toned and sweetest tenor
of the race.
Tho baritone and mczo-soprano har
monize perfectly with the ether parts

semble. Another flute like Boprnno ns well us
second tenor nro models of technique
and bchooling.
