Lumberton is to have a new, up-to-date, modernly equipped electric bakery. Mr. J.E. Lytch of Rowland will open a bake shop in the McLeod building, Elm and Fifth streets, formerly occupied by the First National Bank, on May 1st. The name of the bakery is Electrik Maid Bake Shop. All baking will be done by electricity, and, in addition to making breads, cakes and pies, Mr. Lytch announces that the new shop will make all sorts of fancy pastries, and cater particularly to ladies’ afternoon and tea parties where refreshments are served. The Electrik Maid Bake Shop has bakery established at Wilmington, Raleigh, and other large cities in the state, and throughout the country.

The new bake shop will be run by Mr. Lytch, and in addition to bringing his own family to Lumberton, four or five other families will be brought here to operate the new concern. The master baker has already been secured and will come to Lumberton about the middle of the month. Mr. J.M. Lytch, brother of Mr. J.E. Lytch, will assist his brother and will move his family to Lumberton from Rowland the first of next week.

Carpenters already have started the work of renovating the quarters for the new bakery, and in addition to painting the inside of the building, one of the front windows will be lowered so as to make an attractive show window.

Mr. J.E. Lytch is one of Rowland’s most progressive young business men. He has built up a large fire insurance business there, and is manager of the Rowland cotton storage warehouse. He has been twice mayor of the town, and is at present on the board of commissioners. Both Mr. J.E. Lytch and his brother, Mr. J.M. Lytch, are deservedly popular, and wit their families will make valuable additions to Lumberton. On account of his business at Rowland, Mr. J.E. Lytch will not be able to move his family to Lumberton before the middle of the summer, but he will be here practically every day and have active charge of the business.
