    This is an historic sign, recently restored. Don't think the bread is made any more. It was a soft, commercial bread like Wonderbread. Not my favorite.

    I remember when bakeries delivered bread. Standing outside the trucks smelled delicious.

    Such a big sign for a little bread :)
    Why did they restore the sign if the bread is not made any more?

      This sign has been a prominent part of the landscape in Des Moines, Iowa for 70 years or more. Think the City wanted it working.

    I too have memories of the aroma emanating from the Colonial baker we once had here. Noting like it for bringing forth warm memories.

      My frat house backed up on a commercial bakery. The smells coming from it were terrific, but the bread was quite ordinary, a disappointment really.

    America might have made pretty forgettable bread back in those days, but we excelled in sign-making.
