They were all sold before they were cold! But was the baker pleased—not at all! He grumbled because he couldn’t keep a supply on hand. And one day he just stopped making them—it was too much trouble to keep up with the de- mand! It's a far cry from that type of store-keeping to present day Palais Royal methods. For it is out aim not only to have what you want, but to have such full and complete stocks that you may . have all you want—whenever you want it. The Palais Royal. Copyrighted, P.
