"Mrs. Baker F.Falls"

Description: Light tan small quart, blue wash in
lettering.
Height: 8"
Base: Smooth
Category: 3

Note: In the mid-1970s, a youth walking outside
Cobden found over two dozen Mrs. Baker pints, plus
damaged ones that have since been reconstructed,
four Mrs. Baker large pints, a Starr from Brockville,
an Archer (Renfrew) and a Menzies (Pembroke).

Despite persistent research, no reference to Mrs.
Baker has been found, but the location of this find
suggests that the "F. Falls" stands for Forester's Falls
(just outside Cobden), as opposed to Fenelon Falls
or Ferguson's Falls, two other small towns in Ontario.

Description: Yellow/tan quart.
Height: 10 1/4"
Base: Smooth
Category: 3

Note: The 1871 federal census lists James Laurie, a 33 year old baker, born in Ontario, of
Scottish descent. Upon James' death, it appears that his widow Jane assumed the
proprietorship of the business.

"Mrs. Jane Laurie's Bakery and Confectionery was located on Gore Street in Perth. The three-
storey white brick building was erected in 1886 as a store with residence above. Baking and
candy making were done in the basement, where the bake ovens were situated. The store
was elegantly furnished with mahogany shelving and counters, topped with solid walnut.
Adjoining the store was a neat restaurant in which oysters, ice cream and fruit were served in
season, together with bread, cakes and pastry. A favourite lunch consisted of buns and
chunks of local cheese, with a bottle of Mrs. Laurie's Old English Ginger Beer.

"The Laurie business was established in 1858 and was operated by Mrs. Jane Laurie and her
daughter, Mrs. Margaret MacCormack, for 67 years. Following her daughter's sudden death in
1925, Mrs. Laurie sold the business. She died later that same year, on November 11, 1925 at
the age of 90 years."
