MISCELLANEOUS /. merits, and by several master bakers. References are ir kindly permitted in every case. I . Economy of Material. —There is an increased yield of bread, amounting to at least three quartern loaves per i- sack. This important result is effected by the perfect mixit iog of the dough and there being no waste of Hour. ;e Lieutenant-Colonel Colvill, Governor of the House of x f-orrection, Coldbath-fields, writes :—" lam desired by the- \ Visiting Justices to inform yon they are perfectly satisfied \ with the bread-making machinery which yen have supplied to this establishment. The machine has been in cone skint use for forty-six weeks, and in that time we have ■.« saved by- it .£207. The bread is also much better, the e cleanliness of the manufacture is admirable ; it is a much healthier labor for the men, and the machine can be t worked by any of the prisoners.” •s Deputy Commissary-General Robinson, of Aldershott camp, writes ; —“ Stevens’ dough-making machine performs better in 20 minutes what occupies 45 by manual if labor, and it has been proved to gain 12 pounds of bread 0 per sack of flour over what can be obtained by hand labor, ie the machine thus paying its own cost in a very short time.” n Captain Wrughton, Assistant-Commissary-General e Calemta, writes:—“Yonr patent dough-making machines », are doing wonders for the commissariat Calcutta ; they s perform all the kneading most effectually. The invention s is so simple in use, so perfect and durable, that it is a per- ") feet God-send to this country of heat and dust. a J. W. Nichols, Esq, Secretary of Greenwhich Hospital, y writes;—“TheCommissioners of Greenwich Hospital have r every reason to be satisfied with your patent bread-making ~ machinery now in use in the bakery of Greenwich Hess' pital.” s. Miss Plomer, Matron of the Cripples’ Home, Dorsety square, N.W., writ's “We make our own bread at this s institution, and the labor required before you sent the t machine was very distressing. By the use of your machine it the bread is easily made by the girls. One and all here are completely delighted with the machine and the bread which it makes for the use of our poor cripples is a blessing indeed.” ; To the foregoing advantages may be added one of con--1 siderable importance, viz., that the bread made by this ma- , chine is the ordinary household, home-made, and fancy ■ bread of every-day use, only free from the impurities and ■ imperfections necessarily attending the hand-kneading 1 system. r In confirmation of the above statements as to the great I public uti ity of the invention, attention is specially directed • to the very numerous testimonials and official reportaddressed to the patentee, and which may bo had on appli 1 ! cation at the offices of the Company. The following may , be taken as specimens of the rest: — The Most Noble the Marquis of Sligo writes—“ I have- - had your bread machine in use for the supply of my • house for nearly four months. It saves two-thirds of the labor of kneading, and enables any servant in the house to do the work ; and I must strongly recommend it to every baking establishment on either a large or a small scale. - t The Right Hon. Lord Caraoys writes - “ You are fully at liberty to say and publish that I have one of your machines for making bread, and that I much approve of It.” Charles Nottidge, Esq., Secretary of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, Old Kent-rSad, writes. —“As regards perfect kneading, consistency and decided improvement of dough, as well as simplicity and quickness in making it, these excellent machines are certainly’ unrivalled. They also considerably economise labor, and prevent a large per centage of waste and sweepings The management of the machine is, moreover so simple, that a person with common intelligence may learn it in an hour” The numerous master bakers using the machine express themselves with respect to it ia terms of great commendation. Mr. M’Cash of Stratford, writes—“l am perfectly satisfied with the whole operation of your doughmaking 1 machine. I believe the time is not far distant when the machine will be considered a necessity in all bakehouses, on ’ account of its economy, and being alike a boon to master i and man. Since using the machine, I have incensed my i trade ten sacks per week.” Mr. C. Emberson, St Paul’s t road, Highbury, writes :—“ After a fair and impartial ! trial of your dough-making machine, I am much pleased with the result.” Mr. Alfred Norman, Marlborough-place,. Old Kent-road, writes :—“ After eight month’s trial, lam quite convinced that bread made by your machinery is far superior to that made by hand labor. The process is most • cleanly, and the labor healthy; the men much prefer it to . hand-arm system.” Messrs. A. Young and Son, of ■ Cambridge, write, —“ We should be sorry indeed to go ■ back to the old system of making dough by hand. We- ! should as soon think of relinquishing railway travelling to i the old road and waggon.” Mr. J, W. Black, of Leicester,. 3 writes, “ The cleanliness in the manufacture of the bread r by your machine is so great that I think the time is not r far distant when the public will not buy bread made by 3 hand labor.” 3 The first source of revenue to the Company will be the f sale of the machines. This branch will be very lucrative, as they yield a profit of upwards 800 per cent. The r demand is rapidly increasing, and the field for their use 0 both at home and abroad is almost boundless. A trade- • machine capable of mixing two sacks of flour at one time 1 may be had as low as £3O, and those for family use range y from 355. to £5 each. e A second source of income will be the establishment of a “ Central Bakery or Bakeries, constructed on improved principles, for the supply of machine-made bread, the absolute e purity of which will be guaranteed. A third source of •> profit will be the supply of genuine floir, in which itlj believed the Company will be enabled to transact a large ■ and lucrative business. The great extent to which much of the bread now - in the metropolis is adulterated, more particularly with f alum is notorious; in confirmation of this statement the ie recent report of the Analytical Sanitary Commission oft'i3 Lancet may be quoted. It is expected that the Company will sell weekly from 800 to 1,000 casks of flour converted, e into bread ; and in proof that this estimate is a very a moderate one, it may be mentioned that in Dublin, Belfast,, e Glasgow, and other towns, there are at present single L firms selling from 500 to 600 sacks per week, e Although the Company will have ample capital and n machinery including steam-power at their command, it is s not their intention to adopt a tariff which would n„t be unremunerative to those of the trade not possessed of there - obvious advantages; on the contrary, the Company will ; endeavour to maintain a fair scale of prices. It is thei, n expectation that this course will tend to check that system j >, of underselling now too common in the London trade, the’ r , baneful influence of which in the form of deteriorated' ■- bread extends to the consumer. ~ Tlt is important to notice that the Company will at once - take possession of large businesses (both as to the machii; nery and baking), already established. Machines in varis, ous sizes may be seen at the offices, and orders receive for the same. 1 As evidencing the patentee’s confidence in the enterprize, may be mentioned that he was agreed to forego all cash • payments for the exclusive use of his two patents and all improvements thereon, and to receive instead 2,500 paid !. up shaqes of the Company, with a participation in the net i. profits resulting from the sale of the machines. All the accounts of the Company, will be ender the con- - stant supervision of a public' accountant, which will take e place quite independent of tne resident officers of the s company. The accounts of the Company will be laid before s the shareholders half-yearly, and the dividends will also be 3 paid half- yearly, after the first annual general meeting r Taking the outla} at the maximum and the returns at the minimum, and allowing for every contingency the ; Directors believe the Company will be able to pay a , dividend of from 20 to 30 per cent, on its capital. ; It may be stated that £ 1 shares of the New Union 1 Mills Flour and Bread Company, at Birmingham, are now r selling at £2 10., while in the case of the Old Union Mills . Flour and Bread Comp my, many years established in the ; same town, the £1 shares are worth £lO. i fT'PPS’S COCOA is distinguished as an invigorating j JL-i and grateful breakfast beverage, possessing a most t delicious aroma. Dr. Hassall, in his work, “ Adu’terations i of Food,” says : —“ Cocoa contains a great variety of ira- • portant nutritive principles ; every ingredient necessary to j the growth and sustenance of the body.” Again—“ As j. a nutritive, cocoa stands very much higher than either ; coffee or tea.” -Directions.—;■Two teaspoonfuls of the r powder in a breakfast cup, filled up with boiling water or • milk, stirring meanwhile.
