BAKER AND PASTRYCOOK
A "bread and water" diet has been traditionally regarded throughout the centuries as a just and fitting punishment for the more juvenile members of the family who have disobeyed, the parental commands. Drastic as this punishment may seem, it is nevertheless a fact that few individuals have been able to survive for any length of time on this diet, which leads to the only conclusion, that the nutritive value of bread is such that alone and unaided it will actually support life for a brief period. Thus, it will be readily acknowledged that the importance of bread in our everyday diet cannot be over-stressed.
Pemberton’s leading bakery is producing daily oven-crisp batches of the finest quality batches of bread, and guaranteeing that your demands in the way of bread will be quickly and adequately satisfied. The baker of this nourishing addition to your daily menu is Mr. Tanner who recently purchased the business from Mr. G. B. Todd. Coming from Bridgetown only a short while ago, he has already endeared himself to the townspeople by the quality of his products, which are the best that the residents have tasted for a long while. He is assisted in the business by his son, William Tanner, carrying on his own delivery service and catering for wholemeal bread, wedding and birthday cakes, as well as he usual lines, a trial with this baker will provide the utmost satisfaction in his products and service.
In dealing with Mr. Tanner you are availing yourself of the willing services of Pemberton's superior baker. A returned soldier, we have no hesitation in recommending him to our readers and wish him every success in his new venture.
