Seeming to support a famine fear was the decision made last week by the Council of People's Comissars at Moscow to retain bread cards and the existing bread prices for at least another year. Under the present rationing system, in existence for more than six months, inhabitants of Russia's larger cities, even those of the grain districts, are allowed but one pound of bread -in some cases only three-quarters of a pound-per person...
...other words, the rationing system is part of a vast plan which Dictator Josef ("Steel") Stalin is relentlessly pursuing. If the rationing system pinches Russian stomachs, then that also is part of the, plan, anticipated by Dictator Stalin and the Communist Party and to be borne stoically by Russians until Oct. 1, 1933, if necessary. For until that date the Soviet Government and "Boss" Stalin have thoroughly committed themselves to an economic problem which is to transform the Soviet Union into an industrial giant, nourished during the next four years by a 24-billion-dollar investment in factory equipment...

The only rival for speed and regularity admitted by Fleischmann in daily national distribution is the U. S. Post-Office. The only foodstuff rivals are the various milk companies, none of which are nationwide in scope. Fleischmann's yeast is delivered fresh every day to more than 30,000 bakeries and to 250,000 groceries, delicatessens, hotels and other retail outlets.

During the New England floods of November 1927, Fleischmann chartered all the airplanes at the Boston Airport, even newsmen and news services could get planes only through the Fleischmann Traffic Department. First arrivals from afar in the flooded districts were airmen carrying Fleischmann yeast. Nor is Fleischmann service limited only to yeast deliveries. When a Fleischmann baker died suddenly, leaving a distracted widow with several small children, one Fleischmann man took charge of the funeral, another Fleischmann...
...Fleischmann distribution system is not the "invention" of any one man. It was developed along with the growth of the company. No transportation problem existed in 1868 when Charles and Maximilian Fleischmann, immigrants from Austria-Hungary, and James Gaff of Cincinnati, founded Gaff, Fleischmann & Co. at Riverside, Ohio. Their first great forward step was made in 1876 when they exhibited a Model Vienna Bakery at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. From the fame of this exhibit came an increased demand for Fleischmann's yeast. Soon there was a Fleischmann plant on Long Island, then another at Peekskill, N. Y, Guiding...
