Worth County Used to Have its Own Bakery

Back in 1925, Worth County had its own bakery, the City Bakery. The proprietor was Mark Dalrymple. Their advertisement in the November 25th, 1925 Worth County Tribune stated, “We are very much pleased with the patronage accorded us for our bread and pastries since coming to Grant City. We know how to make them good, and our customers tell us they are good. We’re going to keep making them good. We invite your patronage on that basis. We want you to know our bread is full weight, that it’s always fresh, that it is priced reasonable, and can be had at most of the grocery stores in Worth County and other places are taking on the sale of our bread almost every week.”

Customers could buy bread directly from the bakery, or they could buy it from Yetter, Jamison & Oehler, Cloos Grocery, J.B. Dawson Company, C.W. Combs (Allendale), M.A. Butler (Irena), or Wm. Wilson (Oxford).
