Merita Bakery
In the 1930s, the Merita
Bakery was on Old Street across
from McNeill Milling Co. e
office for American Bakeries
Co. was on Green Street on
the ground floor of the old
Highsmith Hospital, which later
became the Millbrook Hotel.
From about 1818 through 1924,
trucks used for the delivery of
fresh-baked Merita bread had no
doors. When it rained, the driver
would simply pull curtains across
the doorways.
Until the late 1940s, fresh
bread could be purchased
straight from the ovens for 10
cents a loaf; day-old bread was 5
cents a loaf. Because more space
was needed for the bakery, a
spacious plant was built at 1226
Ramsey St. in the late 1950s.
