| TEXT | An international fame attaches to Fleischmann's Vienna Model Bakery. No enterprise of a similar character has ever before been attempted, and it is to-day one of the representative institutions of the great metropolis. Mr. Louis Fleischmann, the esteemed and enterprising proprietor, is a gentleman of superior business abilities, who when the great Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia Was about to open established a "Vienna Model Bakery" in it, based on the principle of the famous hake-shops in Vienna, and wherein he dispensed his delicious fresh-baked Vienna bread and rolls with equally fine coffee to the hungry multitudes who thronged the Exhibition. His enterprise from the first met with pronounced success, and when the exhibition closed he removed his establishment to New York, opening out here in December of the year 1876. Mr. Fleischmann was awarded the prize medal by the United States Centennial Commission for the superior merit and excellence of his bread, and acquired an international reputation for producing the finest bread in the world. In New York he spared no pains or expense to make his establishment as attractive and comfortable to the public as in Philadelphia, and secured what is undoubtedly the choicest location on Broadway, being the elegant building corner of Broadway and 10th Street. It directly faces the immense marble store formerly A. T. Stewart's, while adjoining is the beautiful Grace Church. In front of the building is a charming little garden always kept up in the brightest of evergreens and flowers by the enterprising proprietor, and through whose winding paths guests approach the elegant cafe. This spacious restaurant is a special feature, fitted up in the best of styles, with every accommodation to partake of refreshments, in which the delicious fresh-baked Vienna bread and rolls form the greatest of attractions, and bringing to the attention and palates of thousands its unrivalled superiority to all other breads. In the 10th Street building is one of Mr. Fleischmann's immense bakeries, while the other is located in 18th Street, the two having the extraordinary capacity of twenty thousand loaves of bread daily. Two hundred and ten hands are steadily employed in, and in connection with, these bakeries, and from twelve to fifteen thousand loaves of delicious Vienna bread are daily baked and disposed of to the families, grocers, and hotels of New York and its vicinity. There are thirteen very large oveng, built upon the proprietor's own patented plan, and which bake more evenly and satisfactorily than any other kind. Each loaf of the bread is labelled, and none is genuine without. The bread is promptly delivered in the early morning to all parts of New York, Brooklyn and suburbs, by means of thirty-eight wagons, and some idea of the wonderful and permanent growth of this business may be gathered when it is stated that Mr. Fleischmann began business with but one wagon. The people like his bread, and will have no other, and he is prepared to supply them promptly and satisfactorily. Mr. W. Grevel is the superintendent of this immense establishment, and successfully keeps it up to the highest point of efficiency, his long practical experience and sterling qualities enabling him to faithfully discharge the onerous duties devolving upon him. Mr. Fleischmann is a gentleman too well known and respected to require comment at our hands. His successful and honorable career speaks for itself, and the service he has rendered New Yorkers in providing them with a pure and wholesome bread, makes him a public benefactor and worthy of the great degree of popularity to which he has attained. |
