                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                  
               This is a decision on an appeal from the primary examiner’s            
          final rejection of claims 25 through 35, which are the only claims          
          pending in this application.  We have jurisdiction pursuant to              
          35 U.S.C. § 134.                                                            
               According to appellant, the invention is directed to a method          
          of providing a double package for pre-sliced loaves of bread having         
          a tight, neat inner package and an outer bag, as well as the double         
          package of bread itself (Brief, page 2).  Further details of the            
          invention may be gleaned from independent claims 25 and 32                  
          reproduced below:
