Home Made Bread
"We have home-made bread. iWhich would
you rather eat, home-made or bakers? A
foolish question to ask, for most people
would be willing to pay twice the price for
home-made bread they pay for baker's, but
you can buy the good old-fashioned home
made bread at the Rex Grocery for the same
price as baker's. Large, well browned
loaves, both nourishing and palatable, and
baked from the best flour in the city.
