Since the flood our bread has not been up to Its usual high standard, and w e wish to explain the causes to our patrons. The high water upset a kerosene oil tank in our store and the carried this oil into our baking department permeating a dough trough which imparted the oil odor to the dough. The electric current being off we had to make th e dough by hand Instead of with our large electric dough mixing machine. One of our ovens collapsed and many of our utensils floated away. We trust that this explanation is satisfactory to our numerous patrons who we have served with good bread so long. We are pleased to state that all has been fixed now and our famous "OLD HOMESTEAD" Bread is again up to its usual high quality.. Every loaf is as near perfect as th e finest bakers with the best facilities and ingredients can make t. Our grocery is rapidly getting in shape again and ad departments have resumed business.
