    • Smith & Hunter

      Bakers and confectioners, North Water Street. This firm enjoys the confidence of the public, not only as citizens, but because of good bread. Mr. Smith is a native of Aberdeen, Scotland, bringing an experience of much value to the firm. Mr. Hunter is a native of Galt. They began business here in 1890, and to-day their trade and reputation is noteworthy. As citizens, like their bread, they are regarded as more than good.
