Feuchtenberger Bakeries, Portsmouth, Ohio
Description
Discolored wooden box large enough for loaves of bread. Metal braces and name in black. Lloyd Douglas Feuchtenberger (founder of Betsy Ross Bakeries) was from West Virginia, but came to Portsmouth and opened the Feutchenberger Bakery, which started in Huntington. The name was changed during WWII to Betsy Ross Bakeries. It is said it was due to the sentiment towards Germans during this time. Mr. Feuchtenberger eventually returned to West Virginia. The bakeries were bought by Flowers Bakeries. Betsy Ross is still sold.
