This is an advertisement taken from a 1951 dedication publication. Emil's served the BSP area for many years thereafter. The bake shop was located near Cedar Lane and across Broad Street from Little Mike's. The bake shop eventually went out of business and the building today is occupied by Vizzoni's Pharmacy.
Owner Emil Nitzsche in 1957.
ReplyDeleteI found these folks in Trenton in 1920
Nitzsche John, baker, res 243 Second. Nitzsche Reinhold, baker...hmmmmm
I also find a John & Sophie Nitzsche on
Jeremiah Avenue then. John is listed as
a Baker in 1957
It says Joseph Smith owns Emils Bakery
in 1963. (?)
Birthday cakes from Emil's bakery are one of the highlights of my childhood in Trenton and Hamilton.
