Introduction

It is the aim of the author, in placing this book before the public, to fill one of the bakers' long-felt needs; not a great compilation of all sorts of receipts, with only here and there one that a baker can possibly make use of, but a compact volume composed of the very cream of bakers' receipts, every one of which is a staple article in the trade, with full directions for mixing and working the same.

The author is well known as a most successful baker, always being able to build up a fine trade in the city where he locates.

Some of the receipts are original with him, and have always been strictly guarded by him as secrets of the trade. These, together with the best of those collected during his many years of experience as a baker, and his travels through the Eastern and Western States, are given in this little volume.

The receipts are all well tested, and the man who has a fair knowledge of baking to begin with, and who has this invaluable book to aid him, will find himself thoroughly equipped to handle the best of trade anywhere in the United States.
