Ye gods and little fishes! Fascinating though. So we women couldn't bake back then, eh? Only good for selling the stuff that the men made.
I loved this. It's great to see how things have changed. I grew up when girls were told they could do anything. This looks like the kind of movie the high school kids were shown on a career day. What a difference.
To the Bad Old Days.
When my official job title at my first "real" job was (and I'm not kidding) "Time Study Man."
Yes, they told me that I probably didn't have the intellectual capacity to be an engineer.
And yet, I are one....
Thanks, Norm, for this "blast" from the past.
Happy Baking!
Especially those official job titles..panner, racker, oven man. Oh, to think I wouldn't have to worry my pretty little head over managing finances.. I mean how could I handle anything so difficult. Hahaha this was really fun to watch. Thanks Norm!
A blast from the past
did anyone see that in the bakery the sale was for 12 cents for a loaf of bread!
That was incredible! Wow, we women seem pretty useless... but hey, we've come a long way. I did get a backache kneading a 3kilo dough the other day, though.... oh, but right, there are electric mixers!!!! Ha ha ha!
So, people only eat wonder bread in America? ;-)
Very educational. Thanks Norm.

Hey, Al Jolson said: "I wanna be a jazz singer"...Well, after seeing this film, I wanna be a "RACKER". Forget about this Artisan stuff---Dunwoody Institute, here I come!
Great video, Norm, thanks for sharing.

Thanks Norm.
After seeing the video, I could picture us all working in a virtual bakery. (In Black & White too!) Yes, Howard, you can be first to be the "Racker." Gosh wouldn't that be interesting? One day we could all be together on a Fresh Loafian Holo Deck.
