Matineo 2 to 5 p. m. SATURDAY, APRIL 28th. Why Baking Bread at Home Don't Pay The average housewife has heretofore thought by baking at home she was saving on her expens es. This practice is being radically changed more and more as she figures the cost of each loaf. The practical baker of today only figures a frac " tion of a cent profit on cadh loaf, and by buying ' materials in great quantities and making hundreds of loaves each day he is able to sell the housewife bread about as cheap as she can make it. In case of BAD LUCK with your bread it means a total loss. There arc no failures in our bakery. Each loaf of Dickey's "Krisp Krust" and "Home Made" bread is scientifically made, insuring uni ' form bread. Made in 10 and 15 Cent Loaves. The bread that don't crumble. DICKEY'S BAKERY.
