This bread will be retailed at 6 cents and 10 cents per loaf. The bakers had to take up' this mat ter caused by the high price of raw material and paper. The bakers in the United States heartily indorse the 10 cent loaf to the consumer, as they can make the 10 cent loaf as cheap a3 two 5 cent loaves, thereby giving the consumer the advantage of the, saving in the cost of manufacture, as well as the saving in the paper, and it takes a fracti6n less to wrap a 10 cent loaf of bread than it does two 5"cent packages.
