Scope and content
Staff of the Tacoma Bread Co., a large wholesale bakery, pose in front of a delivery truck at the bakery's (then) location on Center Street on August 18, 1954. Tacoma Bread, owned by the Manthou family, was well-known for their Kream Krust Bread. Signs advertising this product were placed on the company's delivery trucks. Tacoma Bread had greatly expanded from the days of a small one-man shop to a busy 37-employee bakery. A horse and buggy used to deliver fresh bread to South Tacoma neighborhoods in the 1920's; now, a sleek fleet of trucks cover 13 routes ranging from Auburn to Bremerton. Tacoma Bread was celebrating its 35th anniversary as Tacoma's oldest bakery. (TNT 8-30-54, p. 9)
