The Stand ard Baking Company's plant Is heated by a new magazine feed boiler built and installed by the Co-Operative Heating Co., of which L. H. Thomas is the local representative. This boiler operates on the principle of an inverted gas burner, inasmuch as fuel is burned from the bottom instead of the top. Pre-heated air is admitted at the side of the boiler and drawn through the unburned coal, thus creating a gas which is drawn through the tire and consumed. By admitting the air in this manner the combustion is aways the same, it is claimed, and there is no deadening of the fire when adding fresh fuel nor lessening of the draft by accumula tion of ashes. Consequently, when regulated by a thermostat, an even temperature throughout the entire plant is always maintained. Delivery Problem, One ol the Big Questions, Is Solved by Standard The problem of distribution of their product was solved by the Standard Baking Company through the pur chase of two Ford automobiles, two Overlands and twelve delivery wagons, the latter supplied by the Keystone Vehicle Co., of Reading, Pa.

MAGIC ELEMENT IN BREAD MAKING Yeast, an Important Factor in Bread Making, Produced in Great Quantities Into the baking industry comes a question, stupendous In proportions, yet to the average layman, a question of minor Import. It is that of the yeast used in the manufacture of the finished, brown-crusted product. The Standard Baking Company has just closed a contract for an enormous quantity of Fleiachmann's Yeast to be used in their handsome new plant just opened. The immense Fleischmann yeast plant turns out 160 tons or 320,000 pounds of yeast dally. It means about 100,000,000 pounds of yeast a year in 300 working days, or about one pound of yeast to every man, wo man and child in the United States. The familiar 2-cent cake which the housewife uses is cut by wires in spe cially devised machines for that pur pose at the agencies of the company. The yeast for bakers is run through from a hopper and cut into print but ter size of pound packages. The wrapping now is done by machines specially made for that purpose. The 2,000 vehicles that deliver the fresh yeast to bakers, grocery stores, etc., all over America, are as accurate almost as the sun in the times of their daily rounds for deliveries. The sale of yeast is another story. It is enough to say that compressed yeast has revolutionized baking meth ods the world over. It might be added now that fresh yeast is shipped from the great plant daily, by express and refrigeration line, and is put into these carriers right at the factory door. It thus reaches the baker and grocer with all its strength and freshness unimpaired. As big as it is and as wonderful both in quality and quantity of its output, the Peekskill, N. Y., factories of the Fleischmann Company are not the only plants in which this concern produces yeast. The company has immense yeast plants also in Cincinnati, Ohio: Som ner, Wash.: San Francisco, Calif., and Montreal, Canada. The controlling mind of this stupendious business Is Julius Fleisch mann, president of the Fleischmann Company. He and the directors of his concern maintained in their high state the traditions and the policy of Charles Fleischmann, the founder of the concern. It seems to be just one big business family. Everyone loves the head and con trolling forces of the house, and the controlling heads love the big family of employes. It is the pride of the men that they can feel safe in their employ and that all that they have to do is to give faithful service for a lov ing recompense. The salaries and wages are in creased yearly, and those worn out. in j the service retire upon living pension \ from the generosity of the corpora-' tion. One proud employe has been i with the Fleischmann concern for 44, years. He looks hale, hearty and I happy, and one of the most enthusias-! tic endorsers of the paternal attitude chosen by the great corporation. The younger Mr. Fleischmann has learned the numerous details of the business literally from the ground up, when, as a member of the working force, he shoveled coal and did chores about, the place just as any other laborer would have done. In his face is reflected the embodiment of honest, virtuous, vigorous human character of the same quality that, was the foundation of the Fleischmann busi ness George B. tester is the vice-presi dent of this gigantic organization. He is one of those quiet, industrious, silent forces that have been felt in the operating and building of this enterprise, of which America or any other country should feel proud. Mr. Lester has had the experience which is necessary to a man in his position, j When he comes among the great army i of employes of the plant, there is a smile of welcome and no feeling of cowering. Like all of the other big men in the Fleischmann wheel of control, he is an open book and moves with an even hand in every depart ment of this vast industry. A visit to the Yeast Plant at Peeks kill is a privilege and an education. It is a pity that every housewife and every man in the United States eould not pass through the intricate details of this perfect factory and see how it is made and what comes to them for use in their kitchens and in their daily lives. The mind can hardly conceive the proportions and extent of this vast enterprise that has grown lip and ex panded and been perfected year by year.
