These two chaps earn their dough. They are bakers: Les Thomas, at left, and Jim Slaven (foreman) at Larson's, cake manufacturers. Les came to Nelson from Devonshire 10 years ago, where he owned his own bakery. For five years he managed Burton's Catering Company before joining Larsons. He is married with four married children - one in Texas, one in London, one in Nelson and another in Hawera. When not working Les likes to "potter" about the house. Jim has been with Larsons for 20½ years and reckons he's a millionaire baker' (poundage, that is). He also is married with a daughter at Richmond. He was overseas with 23rd Battalion in the Second World war and in his leisure hours follows all sports and gets into the garden.
