A Baker's Dozen of Hough Bakeries Clippings


Yesterday's post about Baby Bear Bread and various local bakeries made me realize that I'd never devoted a post to just Hough Bakeries. To rectify that half-baked oversight, here's a baker's dozen of various clippings in chronological order, consisting of articles and ads that tell the story of this beloved institution from his first appearance in Lorain in 1958 to its sad closing in 1992.

For the Brady family, the one at Westgate Shopping Center at W. 21st was a regular Saturday afternoon stop for many years, usually to pick up a kuchen for Sunday morning. I myself later patronized the one at Midway Mall.

I can still taste one specific kuchen with a soft, crumbly white topping on it. Boy, was that good!
