DUBUQUE BREAD COMPANY
DUBUQUE BREAD COMPANY. In 1925 the announcement was made that GERMANIA HALL would soon see all reconstruction finished for its new use as the home of the Dubuque Bread Company. Beginning on October 8th and running three days, the company ran special hours in the afternoons (2-5) and evenings (7-10). During this time, visitors could observe "J-D" bread being made. Loaves of bread were not sold during this time. Anyone, however, who asked was given a loaf to take home and eat. (1)
The company went out of business in January, 1931 when it sold out its business to the TRAUSCH BAKING COMPANY. (2)
The 1929 Dubuque City Directory listed 898 Iowa.
