For example, ovens like these in- new plant is as massive as this bread oven is, but intricacy of fixtures con- trollable by a few simple operations: of the hand is the prevailing feature in every department of the Western company’s new home. So that the story of Bismarck’s bakery is one in which mechanical and chemical science combine to give this city the finest and best equipped bread and pastry bakery between the ‘Twin Cities and Spokane, if not the Pacific coast even. Hardly a process + 4s carried on there in which mechan- ical means are not applied, or. in which some form of chemical activity has not a part in producing the nut- brown products out of the flood of dough debouching out of mechanical mixers and conveyors. About the only hand processes one will note in the plant are the filling of the oven racks with the pans of dough and their subsequently removal as hot, brown There is, then, nothing of the ama- teurish or of the obsolete about the new plant of the Western company. ‘It was designed by experts. The W. E. Long company, of Chicago, builds modern bakeries all over the country. Its experts took over the old Lahr automobile warehouse and the new two-story main building and convert- ed them into a laboratory wherein every fixture is placed with an eye to system and to operation by automatic Processes.

The fancy goods is baked as the soapstone bed revolves on an axis and, if any- thing goes wrong with the electric lution, there is a hand wheel for is rigged with complex fixtures which, however, can be easily operated.

The remainder of the main section of the plant is devoted to offices on the main floor and to lockers, lava- tories and a lunch room on the front of the second floor. Shower baths and dressing rooms are provided here for the employes. The old section, the former Lahr automobile warehouse, has been con- verted into a garage in which the 15 : vans of the company are housed. A repair department is installed in this big room; every night the vans are gone over, washed and such repairs and adjustments made as are shown to be needed. Merged October 14, 1929 The Western Baking company came into existence October 14, last, through the merging of the Barker company of this city and the Perfec- tion company of Mandan. Lewis F. Lyman, of the Perfection company. was made president of the merged corporation the capital limit of which is $200,000. Other officers elected were Roy Logan, Bismarck, vice presi- dent; and John Hoffman, manager cf the Barker company, -treas- nies continued to operate and, mean- | while, the new bakery plant at Main and Sixteenth street was started, September 1, being virtually finished, except for final touches, about the first of the year.

People waiting to hear him speak a part will be amply re- warded, for his voice rings true, dra- matically, also. In the sequences where he realizes his love for the girl, telling her he will take her away from a hundred men; the scene in which he is delirious, hewing down the forest to keep Ros- alee warm, and the tremendous scene in which he finally declares his love for the girl and later when he rescues, her from the river—thgse are his big moments. In the role of Rosalee is Mary Dun- can, who gives an ideal characteriza- tion, also, Miss Duncan evidences a warmth of soul in her work that is aptly reflected on the screen She is a finished actress, her voice revealing her skill as a stage player, Other important players are Ivan Linow and Margaret Mann. p Src eet eres meeting of the Burleigh rican Red By Federal Justice Minot, N. .
