The government cannot dictate both weight and price. There is nothing to hinder us from baking a loaf weighing over sixteen ounces, but if this standard is established and certain economies made the public will get perfectly good bread and far a moderate price." .Save on Wrappers Bernard Schmidt, of the Schmidt Bakery, was of this opinion, and he suggested another means for the con sumer to save on bread, namely, by accepting the loaf without the wrap ping. "This wrapping, counting the material and labor," said he "costs about one-lialf a cent a loaf. If cus tomers show a desire to save on their bread eating let them show it to the bakeries and they will gladly co operate. The delivery is costly to us and I think that arrangements could be made to establish branch offices where people could come in person and buy, so as to save on delivery expenses." Until final decision comes from ITeover in Washington there will be no change in the present bread sell ing rates here.
