Show I DUNFORD DATES OPENING OF NEW BAKERY Dunford Bakers will open their newest operation one week from today, Aug. 25, when their $100,000 enterprise swings into acion In Sugar House. Stephen L. Dunford, president, reported that the new plant will give the Dunfords an opportunity to expand, not that they haven't already which is a wonderful story. It all began when the old LDS high school shut its doors in the early 1930s. Hazel Love Dunford was the home economist there, and the sole support of her three growing grow-ing sons, Stephen, L. Clayton and Burns L. Dunford. She was always a good cook, and Degan oaKing oreaa wnicn layion delivered to the neighbors, door I to door. Her product was so excellent she was able to charge 10 cents a loaf and in those days you could buy two or three loaves of baker's bread for a nickel. This little family operation thrived so well that the Dunfords had to seek the services of a small I neighborhood bakery to help out Then, in 1940, they opened their first bakery at 668 South 9th East. Then they really started to grow, and as this new and ultra-modern unit moved into the Dunford Bakery Bak-ery picture, the three sons of Hazel Love Dunford and Paul H. Stevens own three complete bakeries, bak-eries, three major outlets which they operate and maintain in Salt Lake super markets; 20 other markets mar-kets and stores buy Dunford products, prod-ucts, and more than 100 little neighborhood grocers stock Dunfords Dun-fords bread. With about 10,000 square feet of floor space, the new bakery is situated right in the heart of Sugar Sug-ar House at 2148 South 9th East street, where between 45 and 50 full and part time employes will be on the payroll year around. Stephen Dunford is president, Clayton vice president, Burns treasurer, and Paul Stevens is secretary, each a partner in the venture. |
