GIRL HAS OWN
BUSINESS HERE
Cookies, Rolls, And Bread Are Included
In Her Sales.
MIDDLEPORT, July 26. ---- There is something about a new industry in Middleport that removes it from crash big business circles to a more romantic or human setting. It presents a picture of a young woman, Miss Mildred Darst, graduate of the high school in the class of '24, happy in an enterprise of her own with great possibilities. It is, however, no substitute for hard work. Miss Darst says.
First came the idea and then a cook stove with an oven large enough to take 16 ten-cent loaves of bread at one time. Miss Darst works daily at her business. Her score last Saturday was 48 loaves of bread, several dozen buns and a lot of cookies. Her little business is growing rapidly.
The item above proves how there is room for enterprise on every hand that is being overlooked in every community.
