many other sections, are many times
called by the wiles of the city, and
go there and spend money for mer-
chandise that could just as well be
purchased from home merchants,
and use products shipped in from'trio,
the city in preference to those man-
ufactured by homo people.
This subject was called forcibly
to attention at a meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce Monday night
One of the subjects liscusoed was
why, with two good bakeries in the
city, so much bread and other bak-
ery products, shipped here from Fort
Worth, was purchased and used, in
preference to that of the home bak-
eries. Hundreds of dollars are sent
out of Decatur every month, for
bread and cake that ought to be
spent with the home bakers. Pos-
sibly that is just thoughtless action
on the part of the housewives and
others who do the buying for the
house.
Decatur has two modern bakeries,
using up-to-date machinery and
methods in the manufacture of
their products, and are conducted by
men who have had years of exper-
ience in the business and whose pro-
ducts are the full equal of those
made anywhere.
The City Bakery, owned and man-
aged by Frank Green, has a daily
capacity of 1000 loaves of bread,
200 pies, 2000 buns, besides a huge
amount of cakes, cookies etc. The
Ideal Bakery, owned and iqsnaged by
'Lee Higgs, has a capacity of 1500
loaves of bread, 2000 buns, and an
enormous quantity of plain and larger '
cakes, cookies, etc. This is a reg-|
ular days run. By putting on a ’
double shift the quantity could be
doubled—enough bread to supply a
city twice the size of Decatur. The
outlay for machinery and* equip-
ment alone in these two bakeries1
will probably go above $10,000, all
of which is subject to the usual taxes
for • city improvements, schools,
churches, etc. The bread wagons
pay no tax or license fees. What
they get goes to enrich and build
up Fort Worth. i
Judging from the trend of the sen- *
timents expressed by the members of
the C. of one of the resolutions I
for the new year will be that we
will work for a doser relation be-
tween the business interests and ths
citizenship in an effort to create a
sentiment for a stronger support gf
home interests, so that they may
be able to expand, and excluding the
out-of-town patronage for what can
be purchased at home.
The News suggests that the ladies
who are the principal buyers for
the home, at the meetings of j
their dubs and various organizations ■
take up and discuss this question,
and resolve to lend their active aid
to the C. at C. in their effort to
upbuild Decatur and all her inter-
ests, socially, morally, religiously,
and in business support.
