I know a lot of family information, and enjoy collecting memorabilia from the bakery. However, the best information would come from my father; John Wade (Son of Harry W. Zinsmaster's daughter; Jane Zinsmaster-Wade). I have forwarded this article to him.

I don't remember the process but I remember the box of Mini Donuts and the paper hat each of us got to take home. Could have been Tastee Bakery but I thing it was Zinsmaster Bakery. Thanks for the memory! scottGenna Lou IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00633526632022569800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7676257508484188930.post-68672827926863470802020-07-19T17:32:05.007-05:002020-07-19T17:32:05.007-05:00I have more information on the Post Zinsmaster Bak...I have more information on the Post Zinsmaster Bakeries after being sold to Metz Baking Company. They (METZ) retained the MASTER brand label in the Twin Cities metro area as they could not use their flagship banner, OLD HOME. Because there was a dairy company in St. Paul, that owned the license to use that brand, even though they were dairy company and not a similar baking brand or operation, weird?

I don't have a lot of information to share about the Zinsmaster history for you... but perhaps you might check the ZenithCityOnline blog and ask the questions you have. Tony Dierckins, publisher of this blog, has a lot of local history knowledge.<br />JimJim Heffernanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04388986747065569089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7676257508484188930.post-15823663251292989452019-11-18T21:55:10.917-06:002019-11-18T21:55:10.917-06:00I am a descentant of this great Uncle William Zins...I am a descentant of this great Uncle William Zinsmaster.

You uncle worked there when the business was in its hey day and he must have been a prominent figure there. Hey...we're heading down your way again this winter. Hope the oil spill has not damaged the economy there too much. Such a great area. Hope it warms up a bit though :-) Thanks for reading!<br />JimJim Heffernanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04388986747065569089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7676257508484188930.post-20861065414830702842011-01-03T19:58:53.994-06:002011-01-03T19:58:53.994-06:00I had an uncle on my fathers side, Rudy Nelson tha...I had an uncle on my fathers side, Rudy Nelson that was some sort of executive there back in the 40's.

Tales of old Sixth Street: Jock Swanstrom was giving LeRoy Gorder a ride on his bike handlebars, crashed, and survived...until some time much later it was determined that LeRoy had a broken collar bone. No helmets, tho.

Still remember the smell of rising dough and yeast in the air. Later, before kids weren't allowed to do real stuff, we made bread in the school cafeteria and shook real cream (before fat was outlawed in schools) to make real butter, (before it was considered hazardous waste).
