Scope and content
Interior of new Fleischmann Yeast Co. facility. By February of 1925, Fleischmann's Yeast had moved from its old home in the 900 block of Tacoma Avenue South to new quarters at 1308 South "K" St. (now called Martin Luther King Jr. Way). The one-story building was built of cement at a cost of $5,000. In addition to office space, it contained a huge refrigerated store room where 66,000 cakes of yeast could be readily kept at hand. This partial view of Fleischmann's sales agency takes note of the utilitarian use of tables, minimal wall decor and plain hardwood flooring. Desks are cleaned off; telephone and adding machine are in sight. Inspiring mini-poster on side of counter for employees: "To sell others we must sell ourselves- Give Fleischmann's Yeast a trial. Have you had your cakes today?" (TNT 1-16-25, p. 14-article)
