From A Family Affair To An Affair of Families

In four short years our local Ruth’s Bakery has grown from an organization of Mom, Pop and the kids, to an organization including a manager, eight bakers, two shipping clerks, one sales girl„ one sales-mana-ger, one sales supervisor, and eight salesmen. 22 in all, who earn their livelihood right here in DeMotte and thus provide life’s necesities for themselves and their fifty dependants. They are justly proud of this achievement. At the present time they are adding more new equipment and endeavoring to make a still more complete bakery service available to the residents of DeMotte and the surrounding communities. The latest product, still a mystery, will be unveiled on Saturday, October fifth. A huge windcjw display in the local sales room will announce this new product which will also be available at the local grocery stores on Saurday, Oct. 5.
