You may see a cheap advertise-
ment of bread, pies and cakes, from
what is called a bakery, but close
examination will convince the peo-
ple that there is only one bakery in
the growing city of Hartshorne. Of
course what everyone says must be
so. At G. W. Housden & Co's. you
will lind bakery goods that cannot
be excelled in the B. I. T. We make
nothing but tho 10c. loaf; ours is no
5c. bakery, or in other words it is no
Chinaman bakery. We contemplate
putting in machinery for making
bread and sell it so cheap that every
man, woman and child, will be eat-
ing it. We will turn outlive loaves
by machinery while one is being got
out by hand, hence we can afford to
sell tho cheaper. We were raised at
the calling, understand our business,
and don't change our baker with
every change of the moon. Rc-
