Expanding in Fort Worth

Delivery trucks at 6th and Terrell bakery, Fort Worth.

By 1919, the family could no longer keep up with demand for their product in the small kitchen on Washington Street.  Ninnie purchased a lot at Sixth Avenue and Terrell Streets.  They built a brick building on the lot, equiping it with a Peterson Peel gas-fired  oven, with capacity for 400 one-pound loaves.  Another purchase was a bread wrapping machine.  The new facility only added to the growth of the business, and eventually a second Ford truck was purchased and sent on a sales route to keep up with demand.  From 1919 to 1928, the new bakery was enlarged nine times, with a new addition every year.
