April 24, 1914 Bakery Tour


Although Martha never states the name of the bakery it is likely that this was the one based on the location. ( Image from https://www.romanmealinternational.com/about/our-history/ )

Martha Bell’s Diary Fri. April 24, 1914

We’ve had a very interesting time today. Our D.S. class went thru a big bread making establishment this afternoon. We followed the bread thru every step. The way those loaves were pounded wasn’t slow. The bakery is near Y.P.S. [sic probably Univ of Puget Sound] so we went over and looked around there a little bit. The girl’s Dorm is a horrid place, very different from ours. Mildred went over there with us and we walked down town. It was some walk but we didn’t know it till after we’d done it. I got the dearest gown to embroider for D.A. It’s going to have oodles of French knots on it. Ruth Campbell had been in and we’ve made candy.
