Du Quoin bakery built on female skill sustains long run
Teresa Geiger runs Geiger's Bakery at 22 West Main Du Quoin with four female helpers. The shop employs an all female workforce, including Jessie Herron the only woman journeyman baker in the region. The business began with William Geiger and has continued since 1915, recently remodeling the front, adding a new sign. The team bakes bread and rolls but focuses on intricate wedding and birthday cakes, with two detailed cakes weekly and ongoing cake decorating courses for Mrs Geiger. Also notes the death of Mrs Zella Rollo of Herrin at 66. Funeral arrangements announced.
