T. MACKAY, Junr., Baker, Confectioner and Purveyor, 33, Main Street, Largs, N.B.

    The principal establishment in Largs devoted to catering for the requirements of this important trade is conducted with marked ability and success by Mr. T. Mackay, Junr., baker, confectioner, and purveyor, to which we have pleasure in inviting the attention of our readers. The business is one of the oldest in the town, having been established upwards of half a century, and since continued in the same family for the whole of that extended period. The premises occupied by Mr. Mackay are situated at 33, Main Street, and comprise very handsome and commodious double-fronted shop with three fine plate-glass windows, which are attractively arranged with artistically-designed bridal cakes and other specimens of the confectioner’s art.

    The interior is elegantly appointed throughout, and a spacious refreshment room is provided for visitors, and here may be obtained bread of the highest quality, confectionery, cakes, pastry, &c., in great variety. The bakery, situated in the rear, is designed throughout on modern principles, the most scrupulous cleanliness prevailing in every process of the trade, and the absolute purity of all ingredients guaranteed. A special feature of the business is the purveying department, in which Mr. Mackay undertakes catering for wedding breakfasts, dinners, suppers, and similar functions for any number of guests, providing, when required, plate, cutlery, napery, and all the necessary accessories.

    An extensive and influential connection has been secured by the proprietor, who numbers amongst the patrons of the establishment the principal gentry resident in Largs and the vicinity and the numerous visitors who throng this favourite resort in the season. The services of a staff of experienced bakers and pastry cooks are employed in the business, which is capably managed in each department under the careful supervision of the proprietor, who personally directs every detail of the operations, thus ensuring the perfection of system in the conduct of the undertaking.

    In conclusion, we may add that Mr. Mackay has also a branch business at 21, West Blackhall Street, Greenock, which is conducted on equally satisfactory lines to the one we have briefly described above, the whole forming one of the most successful examples of commercial enterprise in the West of Scotland.
