STxiLE BrSAD BANISHED Sales of bread rocketed nearly 100% fol­lowing the use of a "live potato culture" by a Detroit bakery. The culture, similar to yeast, enables broad to stay on the pan­try shALf for weeks and remain as fresh when opened as the day it left the oten. The alraost-magic qualities of the culture have been measured and determined over a period of six months and the bakery which has de­veloped it is now giving other bakeries throughout the country an opportunity to improve thoir products. It is claimed that the new culture not only improves the taste and gives a finer texture but also keeps the bread free from mould, regardless of humidity or temperature.
