A Famous Old House.

The house of Walter Baker A Co., whoee manufactures of cocoa and chocolate have become familiar In the mouth as household words, was established one hundred and twenty-one years ago (1780) on the Neponset River In the old town of Dorcbeater, a suburb of Bostoa. From the little wooden mill, "by the rude bridge that arched the flood.” where the enterprise was first started, there has grown up the largest Industrial establishment of the kind In the world. It might be eald that, while. other manufacturers come and go, Walter Baker A Co. go on forever. What Is the secret of their greet succesiT It ts a very simple one. They have won and held the confidence of the great and constantly Increasing body of consumer* by always maintaining the highest standard In the quality of their cocoa and chocolate preparations, and telling them at the lowest price for which unadulterated article* of good quality can be put upon the market. They welcome honest competition; but they feel justified In denouncing In the strongest terms the fraudulent methods by which Inferior preparations ere palmed off on customer* who aik for and suppose they are getting the genuine article*. The best grocers refuse to handle such goods, not alone for the reason that. In the long run, It doesn't pay to do It, but because their tense of fair dealing will not permit them to aid In the sale of goods that defraud their customer* and Injure honest manufacturers. Every package of the goods made by tha Walter Baker Company bears the wellknown trade-mark, “La Belle Chocolatlere,” and their place of manufacture “Dorchester, Haas.” Housekeepers are advised to examine their purchases, an A make sure that other goods have sot been substituted. An attractive little book of "Choice Recipes" will be mailed free to any housekeeper who sends her name and address to Walter Baker A Co., Ltd., 158 State Street, Boston, Mass.
