1919:Unions Outing at White City Park

                                                                     

     The picture of the Bakery and Confectionery Workers Local Union No. 261 was taken at White City Park after the Labor Day parade mentioned in the newspaper article.  Josef Wagner, bread baker, is pictured third from the left in the second row from the bottom.  Mr. Wagner worked at various bakeries including Tilton's on South Broad Street.  The ribbons were worn on the day the picture was taken.  Appreciation is extended to the anonymous person who provided the images.

1917: Tilton's Bakery

This was an established business in BSP for many years. The owners were Fred and Alice Bates Tilton. Fred and Alice learned the bakery business from Harry Townsend who operated Townsend's Bakery on South Olden Avenue. Personal memories are that prior to every trip to visit relatives in Beach Haven, a stop was necessary at Tilton's due to a lack of good bakeries on Long Beach Island.
