Rensselaer Boy Enjoying Fine Business With Lebanon Bakery.

J. R. Beck, better known in Rensselaer as “Rich” Beck, is making good with his bakery at Lebanon. He now employs four men and turns out from 12,000 to 15,000 loaves of bread a week, while one man is kept busy baking cakes. He recently installed in the bakery a modern Improved cake machine and a three-barrel dough mixer and automatic dough brake. A 10-horse electric motor is used for power. Rich learned the baking business In Rensgelaer under Wilj Merica. He has been in Lebanon for about four years and since he bought the bakery be has been enjoying the best success. The Boone county fair occurs next week and that means a lot of extra baking and considerable preparation, but Rich says, in renewing The SemiWeekly Republican, that he is never too busy to take time off to read The Republican.
