PINDER Bakery FLESHERTON Canadian Bacon Gaininfl^ Because of the results of hog grad- ing Ontario's Agent General in Great Britain has this to say re Canadian bacon : â€" "The market for bacon is better than it has been, and prices have remained fairly steady the past week or two after a long period of depression, caused by very large sup- plies which were in excess of public demand. Canadian bacon, particu- larly leanest, is in good request, and appears to be growing in popularity with the public. The only thing against any very marked improve- ment in bacon prices is the fact that heavy supplies are still coming in. However, the outlook for bacon gen- erally speaking, is good. One of the remarkable features about bacon prices just now is the comparative strength of Canadian." S The Peoples' Grocery AND ICE CREAM PARLOR 5 BARS STANDARD SOAP 2Se. 2 LBS.
