Shop Talk
At the bakery the reporter got an estimate of the
amount of bakery goods that Mrs. Sanders and her
boys turned out in one week’s time; 1,000 loaves of
bread, 900 biscuits, 450 cinnamon rolls, 450 cookies,
900 rolls, 75 pies, 8 pound cakes, 450 buns. To
make this amount of bakery goods it takes from
1,000 to 1,150 pounds of flour and approximately
75 pounds of sugar. About 42 loaves of bread are
eaten at each meal by the students. That is. 72 stacks
of bread with 12 slices in each stack.

eggs, milk, and meat. The kitchen was very neat,
clean and orderly.
