"O. K." Bakery.

While there are a large number of
bakeries in this vicinity few enjoy the
prominence of the "O. K." Bakery, of
which Mr. L. E. Watson is the progressive

proprietor. This splendid establishment
is situated at 110 West
Main Street, and its output cannot be
excelled by any similar concern in the
city. Bread, cakes, pastries and other
things in that line are manufactured,
and the splendid quality of the goods
has won the concern a wide reputation,
and it is one of the cleanest and
most inviting in the city. In addition
to the bakery line, Mr. Watson has a
choice assortment of nuts, fruits, confections,
candy, etc. Only the finest
grades of flour and other ingredients
are used, and the patrons are assured
of the highest class material. The
bakery is fitted with all the modern
and up-to-date appliances and is presided
over by a corps of skilled and
expert bakers and pastry cooks.
Several wagons are required to deliver
the goods, and as baking is done
daily only the freshest wares are sent
out. Mr. Watson was born in Albemarle
County and has lived in this
city eighteen years. As a thoroughly
experienced baker and business man he
has no superiors and few peers, having
been engaged in the business for
fifteen years. He is prominent in
fraternal circles being a member of the
Elks and Inner Guard in that organization.
He is also a member of the
Knights of the Maccabees and is a
thorough gentleman.

Mrs. Allan Potts, of Albemarle
county, is a typical Virginia horsewoman
of the dyed-in-the-wool variety.
Blue ribbons and first prizes are as
common to her as roses in Sharon.
